The first nine days of the 9th month of the Chinese Lunar Month is celebrated by the followers of the Nine God Emperor deities. The festivities involve nine days of strict vegetarian diet with ardent devotees staying nine days in the temple, wearing white clothings with a yellow sash, and on the final day, a firewalking ceremony to cleanse the true believers. These pictures are taken on the day when the deities are on a tour of Taiping city, a colourful procession of leaping mediums and dancing sedan chairs. This is a yearly ritual to bless the residents of Taiping with good health, great wealth and prosperity.

Taiping Wild Boar Feeding
Taiping Wild Boar coming in from the forest to feed on bread and whatever food given to them by curious spectators. This unique event goes on everynight in Taiping. At the time when this video was being filmed, there were at least 15 wild boars at the scene. This is not filmed at the Zoo, but at a public location behind the Tesco Shopping Center.
