Today is Chap Goh Meh, the last day of Chinese New Year which lasted 15 days since 18th February till today. So I better put up the Chinese New Year theme of lanterns before the close of the day which will be heralded with loud bangs of fire crackers. The lanterns shown here are among the 38 lanterns which needed the expertise of 80 craftsmen from China to set them up for display.
This was what greeted us at the Pesta Site with RM15 entrance. The chinese gods known as ‘Chai’, ‘Chiew’ and ‘Siew’ meaning god of fecundity, god of prosperity and god of longevity.
These are the chinese female fairies winging amongst the colorful clouds of lantern.
This is an aqua theme of fishes for the huge lanterns erected. It reminds me of the closed Penang aquarium in Gelugor.
This is near the entrance/exit of the Pesta site of giant lanterns. The perspective makes a nice picture composition.
This is the final shot of my lantern collection showing a building wiht the chinese type of roof and bright colors.
