行程特色
◎名列「全球三大民俗慶典」！
為全臺最具代表性的宗教活動之一，萬炮齊發，有如蜂群傾巢而出的熱鬧盛況，和「平溪天燈」同列「北天燈，南蜂炮」之美稱。
相傳起源於清光緒11年7、8月間，鹽水街流行霍亂瘟疫，因當時醫藥不發達，死者日眾，居民恐慌，祈求關聖帝君解災救難。關聖帝君乃於元宵夜命周倉將軍為前導，帝君神轎殿後，眾善信隨神轎一路燃放鞭炮，遶境大街小巷至天明，將瘟疫一掃而除。自此後代子孫每年均沿襲往例，迎請關聖帝君元宵夜出巡。
蜂炮活動包含郊區遶境，全副武裝的神轎與轎夫推著神轎小鎮在街道上遶巡穿梭；夜間遊行，神轎群各個全副武裝在成千上萬的民眾及遊客簇擁下，以緩慢的速度向各大街小巷推進；當神轎群行至商家、住戶門口時，頭家即將大小的炮台（或稱炮城）抬至路上，然後點燃炮城的引信，以萬箭齊發方式，刺耳的蜂鳴炮響聲掩蓋周遭，蜂火四處流竄，萬炮齊發的震天威力及刺激快感，人們相信透過蜂炮洗禮，能消災解難，掃除穢氣，更讓來年的運勢越來越旺。

World's most dangerous fireworks festival?! 
The “Yanshuei (Yanshui) Beehive Fireworks” is ranked as the third largest folk celebration in the world and is one of the most representative religious events in all of Taiwan. With hundreds of thousands of firecrackers all going off at the same time, it is a cacophony like hundreds of thousands of bees streaming out of their hives. The event attracts huge numbers of onlookers every year and is paired with the “Pingxi Sky Lanterns” in describing Lantern Festival activities: “Sky lanterns in the north, beehive fireworks in the south.” Tradition has it that the “beehive fireworks” originated in July/August, 1885 as a cholera epidemic raged in the streets of Yanshuei. Owing to the underdeveloped state of medicine at the time, victims of the disease multiplied daily and the local population lived in fear, praying to Guan Di, the god of war, to bring an end to this calamity and save them. Thus on Lantern Festival evening, Guan Di appointed General Zhou Cang as his guide, with Guan Di’s palanquin bringing up the rear. Following the palanquin were multitudes of the faithful setting off firecrackers along the road, winding their way throughout the city until the break of dawn, ridding themselves of this plague in one fell swoop. From that time onward, future generations followed this precedent, asking Guan Di to patrol the streets on the evening of the Lantern Festival. The “Yanshuei Beehive Fireworks” event consists of a circuit around the outskirts of the town by palanquins, each symbolically armed to the teeth, with thousands of local inhabitants and visitors clustered around them as they slowly wind their way through the streets. When the line of palanquins comes up to the residential gate of a business, the lead one sets up a large or small “gun deck” (also called a “gun wall”) on the street and then lights the fuse. The “gun deck” consists of thousands of rockets that ignite all at the same time, creating a deafening, bee-like sound that fills the air as sparks fly in all directions. Every year the ear-splitting power of these rockets and the excitement that comes in their wake attract crowds of tourists from both Taiwan and abroad to come “rush the beehive barricades”! People believe the “baptism of fireworks” gets rid of calamity and troubles, sweeps away noxious influences and brings increasing good fortune in the new year.
