Chingay parade draws big crowd


LED lighted dragon dances are among the many visual highlights of the annual Chingay procession in Johor Baru.

THERE is a common saying in Johor that one has not truly celebrated Chinese New Year if he has not witnessed the traditional Chingay procession.

Chingay is a day where the busy streets in the Johor Baru city centre are closed to traffic and come alive from 7pm onwards with joyous music, brightly decorated floats and lively lion and dragon dances.
