In order to increase the "strait elements" of the event, in addition to holding incense in Zheng Chenggong Temple in Shijing, this cultural festival is also divided into five directions on Taiwan's island: "East, West, South, North, and Central". Five temples, including Yilan Jiaoxi Guosheng Temple, Yunlin Wugu Kaitai Zunwang Fuzhuan, Tainan Zhengcheng Temple, Taipei Guguo Yanping Palace, and Taiwan China Holy Palace Kaitai Shengwang Temple, and tens of thousands of Taiwanese believers participated.
