An unrivaled Malaysian display of lanterns spread across several acres of temple grounds draws close to a million visitors to an unexpected location – a village outside Kuala Lumpur. About 90 percent of the village's population is Hokkien Chinese, whose ancestors came from Fujian, China. Each year, the temple and the village spend six months preparing for the Chinese New Year lantern display.
Many volunteers and craftspeople create the giant lanterns, with a strong emphasis on the year's zodiac animal, so dragons feature prominently. Visitors who stream to the temple each year provide a big economic boost to the village. Government officials always attend the launch of the 11-day-long lantern extravaganza. Join CGTN correspondent Rian Maelzer to explore this breathtaking lantern display in Malaysia!
