Malaysia’s biggest holiday – The Chinese New Year

The Chinese New Year is a particularly popular event in Kuala Lumpur and Penang, due to the large Chinese communities there. The days leading up to the event are the busiest in both cities. Shopping malls are bustling with people seeking decorations, loading up on supplies for open homes, and purchasing new clothing. The fireworks and festivities make this the best time to visit Malaysia.

You’ll see red coloured banners, paper cutouts spelling “happiness”,” wealth” and “longevity” hanging on every doorstep with dragon and lion dance performances. You will also get a chance to taste a variety of traditional dishes prepared specially for this festival; even luxury resorts in Malaysia such as the likes of Anantara Desaru Coast Resort as well as households celebrate the Chinese New Year with grandeur and much joy. Witnessing this integral part of Malaysian culture will most certainly be a highlight of your holiday.
