With a history of more than a century, the Tai O Dragon Boat Water Parade is held annually during the Dragon Boat Festival in Tai O. During the festival, three fishermen associations would parade statues of deities from local temples on sampans towed by traditional dragon boats, praying for blessings for the community as they pass through the waterways. This traditional ritual was inscribed on China’s Third National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2011.
