Chinese New Year in Penang & KL

Malaysia's Chinese New Year celebrations are among the most elaborate outside China itself — 15 days of lion dance performances, firecracker processions, temple visits, and family reunion dinners that fill the streets of Penang's George Town, KL's Chinatown, and Johor Bahru's Chinese quarter with a colour and energy that has to be experienced to be believed. The Chap Goh Meh (15th night) celebration in Penang attracts visitors from across Asia.
