The Yue Lan Festival, as it is known in Chinese, has natives of the town putting up odd paper monuments all over the roads, which are then ceremoniously burned on the last day.

Visit Asia: The Monkey God Festival

Since then, this deity has been celebrated in the period of the month of September at Kowloon’s Sau Mau Ping Temple, by recreating a eccentric attempted execution by extra the additional gods - which lets in such as things as a ladder of knives, & charcoal set on fire.

Travelers to this unusual Asian celebration need not be caring, although - the Monkey God lived, & so do the participants in this celebration.
