1200 stairs temple

Jiu Wang Yeh, 9 Wong Yeh, Jiu Wang Ta Ti, Q Ong Yah or better know as Nine Emperor God festival is on the street right now. You will see a lot of yellow flags that symbolise the coming of Nine Emperor Gods Festival everywhere in Penang Island. As usual, I'll on VEGE for the last 3 days and will pay a visit to "Qin Guan Si"

Yesterday, I went up to "Qin Guan Si" a.k.a. Thousand 2 Stairs together with HK. Initially, I heard there are a lot of pre-confirmation for joining me hike up to the temple. Unfortunately, they PPK me for the very last minutes! :<>Don't wait for me, you all go up 1st, I will see you there" . swt or not?

Let's have a short introduction of this temple. This temple is one of the oldest on Penang. It's history goes back 130 years. The temple is by some known as Cheng Jee Can (in hokkien) or Qin Guan Si (in mandarin), which carries the meaning of 1200 Stairs Temple. It is indeed 1200 stairs and even more for you to walk up from the Paya Terubong Chinese Cemeteries and it is not an easy walk too.

During this period of the Nine Emperor Gods festival, the temple becomes very busy and crowded. Many devotees will come to this temple to pray and pay their respect to the Nine Emperor Gods and other gods "living" there as well.

Other than that, of course they will be a lot of recent and former SPM/ STPM/ PMR/ UPSR candidates as well. They were there to pray and get blessed from "Wenchang Dijun" (文昌帝君) for thier coming examination. Last year, I did video recorded the whole process of borrowing pens and pencils from the god. Check it out.

Last year, I was there to draw a divination stick but not for this year. Have you ever seen a young adult like me go for "Luck Enhancement Ceremony"? Since they had the ceremony when I was there, why not go to enhance my luck? Luck is a power for every human being right? Whatever you do, you are dependent on your luck sometimes. Next time, if you are experiencing low luck cycle, wealth loss or facing disaster, you can always go for luck enhancement ceremony during god's birthday.

There is a canteen next to the temple. Devotees can have thier breakfast and lunch for free in the canteen. This is what they provide to the devotees who come to the temple. Free Drinks and Foods but with one simple condition that is wash the plate yourselves after your meal.

Ya, i would like to take this opportunity to thank HK for being the ONLY one hike up to the top with me. The rest ppk me!
