by nesohu on Feb.26, 2010, under Photography

Jade Emperor’s Birthday a.k.a. Hokkien New Year was one of the events that captures most faithful chinese worshipper’s attention. This is especially so for Hokkiens to pay gratitute to Jade Emperor for hiding them in the sugar cane bushes to escape from trouble.

This year I’ve visited 2 of the most prominent location to offer prayers in Penang. Jade Emperor’s temple in Ayer Itam as well as the longest offering in Chew Jetty. It’s quite grand as you can see on the photos below. Cheers.
