Pagoda like structure to offer prayers to Nan Dou Xing Jun
Chrysanthemums are a favourite offering
Offerings for the deities

The Taoist master writing paper charms for devotees Today is double nine day and it is also the climax of the celebration of the Festival of the 9-Emperor Gods. I witnessed the ritual of walking over burning coals in the afternoon which is a departure from the normal practice of performing it at night.
Tonight, there will be the sending off ceremony for the 9-Emperor Gods together with the royal boat. There will again be a procession from the temple to the water source, a sea or river, where the Taoist master will perform the ceremony to send off the deities for the year.
