Preparations are almost complete at FGS Dong Zen Temple for the Year of the Dog Chinese New Year Lantern & Flora Festival which takes place at Jenjarom from14 February – 4 March 2018.
This event is always well worth attending for its colourful lanterns and beautiful orchid and floral displays.
You can find more information here.
I’m just back from a month’s vacation in Singapore, Phnom Penh, Saigon, Manila and Palawan. The lunar new year preparations (particularly the Chinese community ones) were much in evidence wherever we went. Last year, on a trip to Singapore, Chiang Mai and Penang, partner and I were well and truly in the thick of it (both for good and for bad!) but this year the date is much later so we have not been affected by the main event. Happy New Lunar Year to all.
