alliance ceremony, the site also presented plaques to the six Mazu temples (Nanmen Tianhou Palace, Liaolushunji Palace, Huxia Shuangzhong Temple, Guanao Longfeng Palace, Fengshangtian Palace, Tiandun Tianhou Palace) of the Xiamen Chaozong Palace, Tainan Zhengtong Luermen Holy Mother Temple, Kinmen Mazu Palace and Kinmen Mazu Palace Cultural Development Association, and Kinmen Mazu Palace Cultural Development Association (Nanmen Tianhou Palace, Liaoluo Shunji Palace, Huxia Shuangzhong Temple, Guanao Dragon and Phoenix Palace, Fengshangtian Palace, Tiandun Tianhou Palace) to record the incident.

When you arrived at Luermen in Tainan, you were helped by Mazu's god - " water rise three poles", and successfully landed in Luermen and successfully recovered the treasure island of Taiwan.
