Taiwanese Electric Flower Car

Taiwanese Electric Flower Cars (traditional: 電子花車, simplified: 电子花车, pinyin: diànzi huā chē) are trucks that have been converted into wheeled, neon-lit platforms, typically moving stages, upon which strippers can perform as the vehicle participates in religious, celebratory or funeral processions.

Statistically, Traditional burial ritual involves an open casket, the sacrifice of pigs, a procession with many people walking a certain distance to "send off" the deceased.

In order to garner crowds and create a successful and exciting public event, strippers are hired to win attention and more importantly, attendance.

As a part of Taiwan's traditional folk culture, the practice of funeral stripping is closely linked to religious beliefs.

The tradition of the Electric Flower Car have since moved out of Taiwan's urban centers into rural areas skirting cities.

It is observed that these practices are more widespread in the South, a part of Taiwan that is associated with the working class, lack of solid education and more local traditions.
