Hokkien New Year photos

A photos collection of festivities

Hokkien New Year Photos, Watch how much fireworks were lighted. Penang was like the fourth of July.

Colorful skies non stop through the morning with fireworks sparkling every minute after midnight. Huge joss sticks were burned in most Hokkien homes. Look at Aunty Tian diligent preparation for the Hokkien New Year.

For offerings to Heavenly Father, she has Thnee Kong Kim, Heavenly Clothes for attire. Display on the table are meal fit for the Emperor, truly he is one. Sugar cane story is never forgotten for the Penang Hokkien Lang or people.

Fruits, food, local kuih like huat kuih and bee koe, mee koo, longevity peach and sweet traditional stuff like geng geng, ang choe, tang kua. It is a feast for your eyes. All this signifies abundance of wealth and prosperity for the family

I am sure Thnee Kong will be please with the offerings. Penang Hokkien are god fearing people, one can see.

At midnight of the 8th night, these hokkien new year photos were excitedly taken with Aunty Lian family. These are some of the Penang Heritage that is in dire need to be preserved. Most of the traditional cultures is what makes Penang into a heritage city recently.
