"2026 Jilong Chenghuang Cultural Festival" The highlight of the event, the "City God's Day Parade", was grandly launched this afternoon. To celebrate the 209 enthronement ceremony of Keelung's National Protector City God, six major city gods including Taiwan City God's Temple, Songshan Xiahai City God's Temple, Taipei City God's Temple, Fengyuan City God's Temple, and Puli Yinghai City God's Temple gathered in Keelung to patrol the urban area, bless the people, and protect the peace of the place.

This year, in addition to the traditional City God belief culture, many features have been added to make the Centenary Day Tour like a "City God Carnival." Huang Ama is on display at Keelung Port. At noon today, the Seventh and Eighth Gods of the Chenghuang Temple will take a photo with Huang Ama at the Ocean Plaza.

In addition, the Songshan Xiahai City God Temple's "two gorillas" accompanied the city god on the streets, and the giant sculptures entered the streets of Keelung. People rushed to take photos along the way; the Fengyuan City God Temple presented the unique "Taiwan's only Japanese-style mikoshi", which is different from the traditional Taiwanese mikoshi form and shows the different styles of the city god culture in various places.

The City God's daily tour this year prepared 10,000 "salty cakes" to be distributed along the route, and many people rushed to get them, symbolizing the City God's blessings and peace.

There is also "the only city god's wife in Taiwan who goes on tour". More than 10 years ago, the city god's wife expressed her wish to accompany the city god on a tour in a dream. Since then, every day when he patrols the territory, the city god's wife rides in an exclusive mikoshi and accompanies the city god to patrol the streets and alleys. The City God and his wife go on tour one after another, which can be said to be the divine version of "husbands singing and women following". It has also become one of the rare and most distinctive scenes in the chicken coop City God's daily tour.
