In 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse, the Mazu of Baishatun and the Mazu of Shanbian will embark on their pilgrimage again.
Our group of old friends will once again carry our equipment and follow beside the palanquin, just so that those of you still on your journey or those thinking of them at home can always see where Mazu is.

# Description The GPS system for the 2026 Year of the Fire Horse pilgrimage of Mazu of Baishatun Gongtian Temple and Mazu of Shanbian to Beigang Chaotian Temple is officially launched!
※ This is an app developed by a "non-official team" spontaneously formed by pilgrims.
※ We don't have the resources of a large company, only our sincere devotion to Mazu.
* Every year, we strive to provide a stable and convenient platform so that devotees and relevant organizations can participate in this grand event more smoothly.
The following are some heartfelt words we'd like to share with every pilgrim:
● How do we pinpoint our location?
* To ensure everyone has the most accurate location of the "Pink Supercar," our team members carry GPS devices and walk alongside the Mazu palanquin.
* Satellite signals may occasionally be inaccurate due to weather, power outages, or dead zones. Location information is for reference only; we do not assume responsibility, but we will do our best to fix it.
* If you see these hardworking teammates on the road, please don't push them, as they are working very hard. Don't forget to offer them encouragement.
● Cherish this memory
* The app records all pilgrimage routes from 2017 to 2025.
* This data is the result of our team's years of hard work and dedication; all information belongs to our team.
* Please respect this work. Unauthorized copying or reuse is prohibited.
● Chat Room Rules
We have prepared a chat room and accommodation information sharing area to help each other and report road conditions on your pilgrimage.
Please maintain proper etiquette:
* Please do not post anything that violates social customs, uses indecent language, or makes personal attacks.
* Sending malicious links or advertisements is strictly prohibited.
* If a user is successfully reported 5 times, the system will automatically blacklist them (their location will still be visible, but they will be unable to speak).
* Posting too quickly will result in a 15-second lockout. Please be patient and avoid spamming the chat.
* Administrators will also patrol regularly to maintain order.
● Protect Yourself
* To ensure your personal safety, please never disclose your real name, phone number, address, credit card number, or ID number in the app.
* The system requires no third-party login; you only need to set a nickname and a profile picture to interact.
● Location Sharing and Privacy
※ The app will obtain your location information to analyze the distribution of worshippers and let everyone know where the crowds are.
※ You can turn off sharing at any time in your phone settings; we absolutely respect your privacy.
● Helpful Tips
※ The map route will only display approximately 500 locations for reference. Please refer to the actual route on-site.
※ The system currently does not retain chat data permanently. Please take screenshots to back up important information.
※ Comments are limited to 100 characters; getting to the point is the best approach.
※ If you feel this app makes your pilgrimage journey warm and convenient, please give us a "5-star" review! This is the greatest encouragement for us young people! Also, please search for the "Baishatun GPS Location" Facebook fan page and give us a like.
Pilgrimages to Baishatun Mazu and Shanbian Mazu are our lifelong faith. Let us walk together again on this path of the Year of Bingwu.
