In order to pass on folklore traditions and gain back spiritual links between local Taiwanese and modern time attitudes, Pilgrimage Of The Wild Youth was held as an extraordinary New Year's Eve event in Taiwan. Parade consisting massive installation artworks, units with free jam of music and dance, rituals in order to expel modern plagues marched from Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall in Taipei all the way to Dadaocheng Wharf. Participants inked fingerprints and wrote down wishes on handmade golden paper attached to the paper temple. The temple will be burnt down under Zhongxiao bridge before the dawn
