(Please pardon my poor English in describing the event coz there are too many religion terms that I don&#8217;t know.) <\/p>\n<p>The main highlight was the parade on Jan 2, 2006. You could see the colourful event formed by various lions, dragon, god statues, flags&#8230; from over 20 temples from Sabah (Sipitang, Kudat, Tuaran, Kinarut, Papar, Labuan&#8230;). It is not too much to say that it is one of the most colourful (also the strangest) events that I ever saw.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"\/fook-tet\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2006\/20060104.jpg\" alt=\"Fook Tet Kung\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>To make sure I didn&#8217;t miss a thing, I was already at the temple at 7:30 AM. There were two sessions that day. In the morning, all the god statues from different temples arrived Fook Tet Kung one by one. The comers didn&#8217;t walk in directly to the temple. It seemed like they followed a protocol. If the visitor lions came, the temple would send the lions to welcome them at the entrance. If the visitor was a dragon, then it would be welcomed by the dragon from the host temple.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"\/fook-tet\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2006\/20060104_2.jpg\" alt=\"The Parade\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nPicture 1 &#038; 2: Anyone knows the names of these dragons?<br \/>\nPicture 3: Visiting dragon was welcomed by the dragon from host temple<br \/>\nPicture 4: Long line of parade in Donggongon town<br \/>\nPicture 5: Kids love these stilt men who also gave candy<br \/>\nPicture 6: Dragon: &#8220;It is a rainy day lah.&#8221;<br \/>\nPicture 7: Charge!!!<\/p>\n<p>The 2-hour parade started at 1:30 PM and passed by all the shops in Donggongon town. Many Chinese shops prepared the table with burning joss-sticks, candles, fruits and food to welcome the blessing from the gods, lions and dragons. The loud gongs, drums, dancing lions + dragons, and hundreds of people made a really noisy opening for the new year 2006. This was the first time I seeing such religion parade, and I thought I was in a China town. It rained heavily at 3 PM but everyone&#8217;s spirit was still high. Quite an unforgettable and exciting experience&#8230; at least this is something new to me.
