In Malacca, more than 5,000 revellers gathered along Jalan Kubu next to the famed Jonker Walk to witness the closing of the Chinese New Year’s festivities, which was jointly organised by the state Chinese New Year Carnival Committee and its wushu and lion dance associations.

They joined some 2,000 lion and dragon dance troupes, and children donning masks for the event, which had become a popular tourist attraction.

Since Ethan loves Lion dances, I brought him there to witness the mega Lion dances.

Lotsa people watching the 2000 lions dancing

See!, hell lotsa people on that day! Worse still, the weather was hot and stuffy. If there were 2000 lions there, i guessed there were easily 10000 plus humans there too!!!

Anyway, this did not deter us from going nearer to the stage.

Beautiful lions

And different races also join in the event,truly uplifting the 1Malaysian spirit

Lions also need some rests,fully understood...

Lions have their fur dyed with multi colours

Young children also joined in the fray

And tiny cubs also there to support their big brothers or parents

And people are climbing up to this Mr Universe's statue to get a better view of the lions

See the Giant Lion!!!

Wushu performance was also part of the agenda that day

Though the event was interesting but still there is some don't get to appreciate it!!!

Finally, a white bengal Tiger was dancing and jumping on the rods

The highlight of the day-dragon troupe

Well, this was the 2000 lions dance troupes,very entertaining and lively. The event ended with ~ 6-7 mins of fireworks.

After this, the lions also went for dinner:
