defence of the realm (a kind of ancient cosplay?)

student groups compete in Song Jiang Battle Array (宋江陣) in front of the ShunXian Temple (順賢宮) in Neimen Township (內門) in Kaohsiung County

supposedly a tradition dating back hundreds of years to when local people had to defend themselves from gangs of thugs who would descend from the hills

now more dance, chanting and a little bit cosplay
