The boat-burning ceremony is a festival that takes place every couple of years in Donggang. The people pile up a large decorative boat with sacrifices such as money and papercraft goods, set it on fire, and send it out to sea. They believe that burning this boat helps keep evil and sickness away from the village. Before the boat-burning takes place, a humongous parade and fireworks display goes on for several hours.
