{"Image ImageDescription": "PINGTUNG, TAIWAN - NOVEMBER 03: Local residents participate the Pingtung Wang Yeh Boat-Burning Festival on November 3, 2018 in Pingtung, Taiwan. The Wang Yeh Boat Burning Festival is celebrated once every three years in Pingtung along the southwestern coast of Taiwan, where a ceremonial warship is set ablaze at the fishermen's settlement to ward off evil, disease, and bad luck. The boat-burning festival was known to be brought into Taiwan by Fujian immigrants between 18th and 19th century and have continued into modern times as the 13-meter finely crafted ancient warship made of paper and wood is paraded around town before being torched to the ground on the beach.
