Chinese New Year is around the corner. Lots and lots of festive activities. There is one place to visit here in Miri. There is the Chinese New Year bazaar. In this bazaar, you'll find all sorts of delicious Sarawakian food. Lanterns. Lots and lots of people too. Chinese New Year is a huge celebration here in Miri. This coming Saturday night when the clock hits 12 midnight, fireworks are going to light up the sky. Usually lights up the skies for half and hour.
Lanterns
Lots and lots of lanterns hang high above. In preparation of the Chinese New Year to celebrate the year of the rabbit, the little calm rabbit. In the chinese lunar calendar, there are twelves animals that take turns.
Huge crowds
Lots and lots of people gather around here to buy food. Lots and lots. It's great to see this bazaar back. It has been two years since the lockdown and things are starting to get normal again. Grateful for that.
Pineapple anyone?
Lots and lots of pineapples. These are from the farms here in Sarawak.
Borneo Heritage Handicrafts centre, High street, Miri
Such a cool way to name a street. THe high street. Hahaha..
Lots of garbage bins
This ensures that the public doesn't simply litter around and the city is kept clean.
Sellers
Desserts, drinks
There are also muslim stalls here
There are a number of muslim stalls here joining this festive event.
Streets blocked off to have some performance take place
It's been a while since I last saw such big crowds. It's already been a while. Time flies.
There are some lion dance performance as well as some stage performances
Everyone just sat there chilling. Family day. There were lots of police around just to get things organized in order.
Lanterns lit up the night
Red, yellow, green can be seen lit up around the street.
Some of the people sitting on the road. Hahaha..
The year of the rabbit 2023
This is where everyone takes a photo just to check in this year. This is not a permanent display. In a few more days, all these would be taken down.
I guess this year is hopefully going to be a great year. The city is going to become pretty quiet next week when Chinese New Year comes. Many shop owners are going to rest for those couple of days. This is what Chinese New Year looks like here in Miri. I hope that you enjoy reading this post and have a great day ahead.
Looks fun, I wish you a happy Chinese New Year! 🧧 🤗
