This is the major celebration in Penang island. The photos taken at Hong Kong Lane. The Nine emperor gods festival or Kow Ong Yia , falls on the 9th moon in the Chinese lunar calendar. The festival is always wet affair. On the last day, a procession staring from the temple grounds to the near by shore will be held to send the deities back to heaven in a boat decorated. Am-dist the sound of clashing cymbals and trumping drums.
