Chap Goh Meh celebrations kicking into gear in Penang


GEORGE TOWN: Make your way to Penang for a grand closing of the Chinese New Year celebrations as thousands revel in an array of activities at the Esplanade, including a giant dragon sculpture in the form of an arch that is lit up at night.

Called "Chap Goh Meh" (which is Penang Hokkien for what might be best translated as "the ending on the 15th"), the extra bright full moon will dominate the usually-cloudless night sky for this state-level celebration from 5pm to 11pm on Saturday (Feb 24) to mark the end of the two-week Chinese New Year celebrations.
