Depsite recent media reports that the number of Taoists has declined, folk Taoism events can still be seen often in the heartlands.
Often, the event is to celebrate one of the Taoist deity birthday. One of the key highlights is know as ‘Yew kheng’ or a street procession. The procession is like a mini street parade. Mediums in trance, lion dance, lion dance, devotees carrying sedan chairs are all part of it.
Here are a few photos to share :
