On December 11, 2022, over 100 residents of the Zhongshan community in Xiamen, a coastal city in Fujian Province, China,carried a brand-new wooden boat 4 km to the seaside before setting it on fire in front of thousands of onlookers. Making an offering of the boat, known as a wangchuan, literally means a boat for Ong Yah, a deity believed to protect the community from disaster. After being carried to the seaside, the boat was set down with its bow facing the ocean and its stern to the community before being set alight. The ritual is complete once the ship\'s highest mast collapses in the flames. Known as the wangchuan ceremony, the practice was added to the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage in 2020.
