The Keelung Zhongyuan Festival not only represents Taiwan's unique historical context but also holds significant cultural preservation value, being designated as an important intangible cultural heritage. The Keelung Zhongyuan Festival Cultural Hall, themed around the Keelung Zhongyuan Festival, meticulously presents the various aspects of the festival, including the "Releasing Water Lanterns" ceremony, the "Youyi Zhentou" (parade of performance troupes), the offerings for the "Pu Du" (mass appeasement of spirits), and the ritual procedures. The Keelung Zhongyuan Festival is not only a continuation of historical memory but also a vital cultural asset, demonstrating the characteristics of Taiwan's diverse society and religious integration.
