gods on parade


The Chinese gods get bored sitting in their temples all day, so every now and then their worshippers will take them out on parade.


Sometimes they'll sit in their shrines on the back of trucks and drive all over the island.


Other times, they get out for a walk to stretch their legs.


We were downtown shopping at the bead market, when we ran into a traffic jam. We didn't know the gods would be taking a stroll that day, but it was great to see them up-close and personal! I love how they have white, black, red, and green faces.
