Meet Wang Wen-hsien, a photographer from Beigang Town on the island of Taiwan whose lens is bridging cultures. For three years, he’s journeyed across the Taiwan Strait to Fujian Province’s Meizhou Island, capturing the vibrant traditions of Mazu, the revered sea goddess worshipped by millions. 🌊✨
Wang’s stunning visuals reveal how Mazu’s spiritual legacy—rooted in harmony and community—transcends borders. His work, featured in CGTN’s documentary 'The Journey of the Goddess' (premiering Feb. 3), showcases rituals, festivals, and personal stories that connect coastal communities in southern China and beyond. 🏮📷
Why does a photographer from Taiwan feel drawn to Fujian? 'Mazu culture isn’t just folklore—it’s a shared heartbeat,' Wang says. His photos highlight cross-strait cultural ties, proving that traditions can thrive even in modern times. 🕊️
Whether you’re a travel junkie, history buff, or just love a good visual story, this doc is your ticket to a world where faith and waves collide. 🌏✨
