Nine Emperor Gods Festival

It's been ages since i went to this celebration at the Tow Boh Keong Temple in Ipoh. This year, I purposely took my children to see what it's all about. We went there on the 3rd nite. The crowd wasn't that bad though. As we weren't planning on doing prayers, we just walked around and Jeslyn took some pictures (she made me promise to let her do it). The arrangements of the stalls nowadays are much better and not so congested as i remembered from those long ago days. If you want to know more about this festival in Ipoh, try this website here.

Here are all the pictures taken by Jeslyn :-
