For years now, the Chinese New Year festivities in Kuala Lumpur have been synonymous with Thean Hou Temple. In the weeks leading up to and throughout the 15-day celebration, the venue at the prime neighbourhood of Robson Heights will be lit up by thousands of red lanterns.

During the CNY period itself, the grounds of the temple are filled with a plethora of sights and sounds. One section will feature the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac, while others will incorporate various cultural elements associated with the celebration.
