Around 1,000 large lanterns and decorative lights, a giant dragon replica, and ornate replica gateways have given Jonker Walk a vibrant festive atmosphere as it welcomes visitors during this Chinese New Year season.

Jonker Walk committee chairman Datuk Gan Tian Loo said the decorations involved a cost of nearly RM2mil, contributed by various sponsors to this location, which will host the state-level Chinese New Year celebration on Feb 22.
