GEORGE TOWN: Some 1,000 devotees from the Chew jetty and surrounding temples went on a three-kilometre walk of faith, carrying the statue of the Jade Emperor and other deities for the very first time to mark the birthday of the deity.
Organised by the Chew Jetty, the walk started at the jetty and passed through the Xuan Mu Temple at Weld Quay, Malay Street, Beach Street, Chulia Street, then to the Goddess of Mercy Temple in Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling, China Street and back to Beach Street and Chulia Street before returning to the jetty.
