What’s CNY like in Melaka – Part I
Chinese New Year is the biggest festival of the year in Melaka. If you are rotting at home this holiday season, Melaka is the place to hang out.
Just two days before Chinese New Year, my family and I dropped by the city center where it all happens – we went for a walk down the historic Jonker Walk.
Though it was flooded with a sea of people, we didn’t have to hold on to each other as we wade through the crowd. We just needed to glance at each other every few minutes to make sure every one is still bounding about.
The old peranakan buildings were dressed for the party too, in pink spotlights. Chinese lanterns were strung across the street.
A lot more lanterns than previous years. I enjoyed the cool CNY breeze that billowed upon the crowd. :smile:
