Temple Parade, Taipei, 遶境 舞龍 電音三太子 大仙尪仔 八將團

A religious parade (遶境) held by Zhen An Temple in San Chong, Taipei 三重鎮安宮on 26/11/2011. The main deity is Zhong Tan Yuan Shai (中壇元帥), and you can see him paraded in the sedan chair. There were no spirit mediums at this parade, parades in Taiwan being more temple centred and less spirit medium centred than those in Singapore, though of course there are also temple centred parades in Singapore and spirit medium centred parades in Taiwan too. This parade was particularly unusual by being led by approximately 30 large motorcycles, something I have not seen before.
