Nine Emperor Gods Festival

An outdated post..

Nine Emperor Gods or better known as (Jiu Wang Ye) Festival is celebrated on the eve of ninth month in the lunar Chinese calendar. The nine emperors gods actually refers to the "Jiu Huang Da Di - 九皇大帝" (The Nine Great Emperors) in the Taoist deities system. The birth of the nine emperors happened to be on the 9th of the 9th month in the Chinese lunar calendar, and this is often celebrated as a festival of "Jiu Huang - 九皇" by the Taoist in S'pore or M'sia.
Nan Tian Kong - Ampang

After I browsing for information of Nine Emperor Gods Festival, I noticed dat the biggest celebration in KL is at Nan Tian Kong, which is located in Ampang. As for dis yr, the Nine Emperor Gods Festival was fall on the 8th of October.. and bf decided to go for a pray on Sunday, the 3rd day of the festival.. ^^ Since we never go to Ampang before, we really dun have any idea where the temple is located.. and I tried to use my Garmin to search for the location.. Once again, thanks to Mr.Garmin.. U really helped us.. U guided us all the way from Subang to the correct destination.. ^^
