The ceremony was held to protest the Four Major Rivers Restoration Project. In the area near the event, however, a number of excavators continue to dredge sand in the name of the Four Major Rivers Restoration Project.
Recently, religious groups including Buddhists, Catholics and Protestants have successively held religious services to protest the Four Major Rivers Restoration Project.
