Heard of the legend that says it would rain for the first 9 days of the Chinese Lunar 9th Month? Yup. It's because legend has it that it's during this period that the 9 Emperor Gods would come and together with it brings rain. The 9 Emperor Gods temple in Burma road directly facing Madras Lane in Penang.
