In central Taiwan, the Ciyun Temple(慈雲宮) in Hou Long Town(後龍鎮) in Miaoli County holds the activity of shooting the cloth-made city gate model with fireworks on the Lantern Festival. This unique custom is said to have come down from more than a hundred years ago. It was held originally for driving out the terrible plague in accordance of the oracle of Matsu. Now the prosperity of Hou Long Town has declined, but this custom has been preserved well till today.
