Joss Sticks, Chinatown. Penang.


The Joss-sticks in Chinatown, Penang, are huge;up to seven foot in length.They add to the amazing atmosphere surrounding the temples in Chinatown, especially during Budda's birthday celebrations.

Penang has an amazing Chinatown, with beautiful, original facades maintained on many of the buildings. The joss shops were doing a roaring trade during the celebrations for Budda's birthday, and there were huge sticks burning outside homes and temples.
