Nine Emperor Gods 九皇爺 Festival 2024 in Penang

The Nine Emperor Gods festival is one of the most important celebrations in the year for ethnic Chinese communities in Southeast Asia. The festival is known for vegetarian food, colourful parades, superhuman feats and mediums in trance. During this year's festival (Oct 3 - 11 2024), I visited temples in Penang. In the final 3 days, I moved back and forth the island and the mainland. I ended up making three visits to the Tow Boo Kong Temple 北海斗母宫 in Butterworth. The other two temples I visited on the island were in Macallum Street Ghaut and on Burma Road. As I learn more about this fascinating cultural heritage, I also enjoy delicious vegetarian meals at the various food stalls set up near the temples. Admittedly, I knew very little about this festival before shooting the video. I am happy that I now know a little bit more.
