Walking With Mazu — Kelantan Chingay Full Parade POV 妈祖诞游街 | Kota Bharu 2026 (Raw)

妈祖 (Mazu), the Chinese Goddess of the Sea, is one of the most widely worshipped deities in the Chinese Taoist tradition. Every year, devotees from multiple Chinese Taoist temples across Kelantan come together to celebrate her birthday — carrying her sedan chair(轿子) through the city streets in a grand procession of dragons, lion dances, incense, and prayer. What makes Kota Bharu unique: this celebration happens in one of Malaysia's most culturally Malay cities. And it has for generations. 吉兰丹镇兴宫天上圣母诞文化游神1790-2026 2026 Kelantan Chingay Annual Culture Festival Timestamps: 00:00 — Opening 00:25 — Sedan Chairs Preparation 06:32 — Mazu Group Photo & Chants 07:34 — Performance 08:48 — Lion & Dragon Dance 09:33 — 妈祖 Mazu Enters 11:16 — Youth Leader Speech (Jack Gan) 11:50 — Highlight Reel 1 13:35 — Parade Start 19:24 — Checkpoint(CP) 1 - Kelochor 22:55 — CP 2 - Tali Air 27:04 — Police Escort 28:14 — Run! 29:54 — CP 3 - Dataran Cheng Ho 32:33 — Dato Zamri's Speech 33:27 — Sedan Chairs Pass Above 35:44 — CP 4 - Kelochor 38:38 — CP 5 - Kelochor School Road 40:37 — Back to Base 42:34 — Firecrackers Start 42:56 — 抬轿 Highlight Reel 43:52 — 跳火 Fire Jump 46:18 — Mazu Group Cheer 46:52 — Sedan Chair 48:55 — Group Photo with Lions & Dragon 50:05 — Final Cheer 51:26 — Great night 52:37 — Mazu Finał Prayer 54:16 — Closing Filmed in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia — 9 MAY 2026 By RYAN, DEXTER & BIQTO | Storytelling from the inside out.
