il Giardino Romantico

Staring afar, as if waiting for the arrival of someone or something. Oh, it's oysters they are waiting for. Oyster Festival is held every year, apparently when the tide is at its highest. After the oyster ship lands, blessing is given, and the festival officially begins. The ceremony is short, but meaningful. The entire ceremony takes no more than ten minutes, but it is still extremely interesting. 

遙望著遠方，期待著什麼的到來嗎？原來是牡蠣。「牡蠣登陸」是一個簡單的儀式。這個牡蠣祭特別選在潮水最高的時候舉辦。牡蠣登陸後，給予祝福，整個儀式不過十分鐘上下，非常簡短，但又非常具有象徵性意義。是個很有趣的活動。

After receiving the oysters, the ship sails off again. 
收到牡蠣之後，船隻又馬上離去～

Immediately after this, would be the parade party. The event is organized really well, as despite there being a lot of people, you barely notice the crowd. 

這個儀式結束之後，馬上就進行遊行了。活動策畫的非常好，雖然人很多，但幾乎感覺不出來～
