With the approach of Chinese Valentine’s Day, the city government’s mascot Bravo the Bear made a quick guest appearance at Xiahai City God Temple in the afternoon of July 17.
The purpose of his visit is to seek the blessing of the Old Man under the Moon for a number of messages in bottles acquired during last year’s Taipei Riverside Festival “Sounds from the River” activity.
Having received an overwhelming response from the public during last year’s event, the Department of Tourism and Information is seeking to fulfill its part of the promise by sending off the messages received during last year’s event before Chinese Valentine’s Day. Bravo has volunteered to bring these bottles to the temple for additional blessings.
During his visit, the host opened one of the bottles and read the attached letter, which is for Bravo. After enjoying the letter, the bear mascot passed the bottles over the brazier for the Old Man under the Moon’s blessing. Before he concluded his performance, he showed off a dance which was well received by spectators.
The 2018 Taipei Riverside Festival “Sounds from the River” will take place between August 17 and 19. For more information, please visit the Chinese website of Taipei Travel Net (https://www.travel.taipei/zh-tw).
