Chinese New Year in Johor Bahru (JB) is unique as they do not end with Chap Goh Meh, the 15th day of the first lunar month. The festivities continue for another week and will culminate with the Johor Old Temple’s annual Chingay, where the temple deities are taken on an annual “tour” to bless the city with peace, prosperity and harmony. Carried by devotees from the 5 Chinese clans, the deities take to the streets accompanied by traditional lion dancers, dragon dancers, stilt-walkers, pugilistic troops, cultural dancers, colourful floats and brass bands that will take more than 6 hours to complete.
Come March 8-11, 2015, let's get connected, come out in throngs and converge at the city’s main streets to join in possibly the world's longest and most colourful procession.
