Chinese New Year Decoration 2008 at Jonker Walk

January 21st, 2008

If you’ve been to Melaka during Chinese New Year, or 3 weeks before this auspicious celebration, you have surely witnessed the appealing Chinese New Year street decoration at the Melaka Chinatown area, such as places like Jalan Hang Jebat (Jonker Street), Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock (Heeren Street), Jalan Hang Lekiu and Jalan Bunga Raya.

Never missed, this Chinese New Year street decoration initiative has been successfully carried out from the past 7 years (correct me if I’m wrong with the year). This year, the Melaka Chinese New Year Street Decoration 2008 was officiated by Dato Seri Ong Ka Ting on last Saturday.

Marking the first official day of the light-up, lion dance troops were invited to further condense the Chinese New Year atmosphere.

Take a look at some of the pictures I took at Jonker Walk, don’t you feel like wanted to be physically there as well?

Kudos to the Jonker Street Committee in successfully initiating another year of Chinese New Year Carnival.

Come visit Melaka this Chinese New Year to witness the condensed atmosphere.

I’m excited to have googled this site - it’s amazing and there’s lots of information regarding M’cca and its attraction - food, fiesta and fun! I can’t wait to be at Jonker Street again to jive in with the lively environment, not to mention the glorious food and treasures and trinkets to feast the eyes on. Happy Chinese New Year to all you folks! ;-p
