While the Hungry Ghost Festival – also known as the Zhong Yuan Festival or Yulanpen Festival – is commonly observed on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, this site follows the southern Chinese tradition of marking it on the 14th day. In Malaysia, Chinese families observe the occasion by making offerings of traditional food along roadsides and burning joss sticks and joss paper to pray for protection and the safety of their loved ones.
