Introduction:The Welcome to the City of God has been the biggest event in Dadaocheng since the Qing Dynasty. A saying describing this grand occasion goes, “on May 13th, all people can see is people”. Each year, the Taipei Xia-Hai City God Cultural Festival is not only a continuation of the tradition, but also the intention to continue the tradition, culture, and environment. In addition to being a patron City God protecting the city, the City Gog is also the god of justice, safeguarding minorities and protecting social injustice. In this year, in addition to the City God Birthday Ritual, there will be fair trade, equality rights for the gays and lesbians, menstruation equality, a friendly environment, linguistic rights, and rectifying names of remote places. The festivals will present various activities including exhibitions, water tours, street fair, performances, lectures, and more to allow citizens to understand their meanings in a casual manner. In addition to having fun, citizens can also learn more about the folk culture, experiencing the power of its religious legacy and the feature industries of Dadaocheng.
