Mazu, Goddess of the Empty Sea, is the Chinese patron goddess who protects seafarers, such as fishermen and sailors.

In front of Mazu, "Thousand-Mile Eye" (千里眼, Qianli Yan), one of Goddess Mazu's two guardians generals.

In the back, the Zulai Hand art car. Zulai is one of the gods in Chinese culture, it represents mercy and love. Note: It looks amazingly like Buddha!

Procession of the Mazu crew, an all-Chinese camp with amazing art and a Brazilian drum marching band.

The members of the Mazu camp were all Chinese, mostly from Taiwan, with some coming from Hong Kong and Mainland China (PRC, aka People's Republic of China).
