Yuanlin Mayor You Zhenxiong and others also went to pick him up and offer incense. Funing Palace also prepared vegetarian meals and drinks for pilgrims. When Mazu’s sedan chair arrived at Funing Palace, many believers paid homage and were quite devout.
The Dajia Mazu pilgrimage team traveled south from Changhua City in the early morning of the 23rd, passed through Huatan and Dacun, and entered Yuanlin City at around 7:00. As a precaution, the Yuanlin Police also sent several police officers to escort them all the way. The Matsu sedan chair enters the intersection of Juguang along the provincial road and Taiwan, and then proceeds to Zhongshan Road. First, it stops at the Fuying Palace of Dabeimen for a short time, and then arrives at the Funing Palace in front of Yuanlin Railway Station. Many believers kneel on the side of the road Many people also stood on the side of the road with folded hands to worship. The sedan chair entered the Funing Palace. The chairman Lin Xianzhong, the mayor You Zhenxiong and the believers offered incense and worshiped. After a short stop, the believers reverently sent Mazu off to drive. Afterwards, the team entered Yongjing Township along the provincial road and Taiwan, and then went south.
The management committee of Funing Palace stated that Mazu Luan would stop at the palace on the morning of the 28th on his return trip. In order to serve the pilgrims, the palace and local believers set up booths in the streets near the palace to provide meat and vegetarian food for the pilgrims.
In view of the fact that in the past, when Mazu entered the country, there would always be a whirlwind of worship. Therefore, the palace appeals to the believers who want to worship Mazu to prepare incense cases on the morning of the 28th, and worship on both sides of Zhongshan Road in sequence. However, in order to avoid overcrowding, Believers should adjust the worship time and observe the order by themselves.
