Qian Gu - Ghost Grabbing

Qian Gu - Ghost Grabbing

Intangible Heritage

This is a traditional event held in July of Lunar Calendar. Participants will climb up to the 10 meters high tower supported by bamboo poles to compete the prize hung on the top. The poles will be fully covered in animal grease that this increases the difficulty of getting the prize. The participants represent hungry ghosts, and their competition is for freaking out those real ghosts. The climate threats this event faces are rising sea level. Because Taiwan is a small island that it always has the potential risk of being flooded. If the region is flooded, the intangible heritage will have the possibility of disappearing.
