GEORGE TOWN: The iconic Kek Lok Si temple will be lighted up for Chinese New Year once again despite talk that the tradition would be called off starting this year.

The temple grounds in Ayer Itam will be transformed into a “fairyland of lights” from Feb 11 till March 15 with a display of beautiful LED and neon lights and some 20,000 Chinese lanterns, to mark the festive period.
