The tour takes visitors to some of Tainan's more famous temples, including the Matsu Temple , which is dedicated to the Goddess of the Sea. Single people who are looking for a spouse come here to pray to this god. After praying, the supplicant removes a single red thread from around the god's arm, wraps the thread up in a small piece of red paper, and carries it in his or her pocket every day. In a short time, Pi says, these people will get married. Some people also pick up some incense ash here which is said to have the power to make women more charming when worn behind the ears.
Men can get the same effect by wearing it on their throat.
Couples visit the street's fortune tellers to find out if they are suitable for each other and when the best date to get married is. These paper figures, corresponding to the animals of the Chinese zodiac, are belived to absorb the bad luck of those who want to change their fortune. Another interesting temple on the tour is Tientan Temple , which is the place local people visit if they want to change a streak of bad luck. The best times to visit are the 1st and 15th days of the lunar month, when the temple is packed with people who come to pray for the safety of their families. The locals who come here to pray do something that is found only in Taoist worship.
