Chinese New Year Countdown at Toong Wah cave Temple on 2nd February 2011
Wishing all readers: "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and "新年快乐". May the year of rabbit brings joy, peace, prosperity and good health to one and all.
Lion dance performance to celebrate the start of year of rabbit
This is the second time I participated in the Chinese New Year countdown at the Tong Wah Cave temple near the Lost World of Tambun. About 100 people turned up to offer their prayers and to usher the year of Rabbit.

The cave is located about 60 meters above the ground. Many young and old made their way to the top of the hill. It is a destiny to reach the top of the hill.
Some well wishers offered their prayers by lighting candle
Waiting for the higlight ... the lion dance performance
There were lion dance performance and burning of giant joss sticks by well wishers and believers. Three types of joss stick at a cost ranging from as low as RM39 to as high as RM268.
Paying respect to the gods
At the stroke of 12 midnight, the joss sticks were lighted. There were also fire crackers and fireworks display.

Wishing Master Cheong Good Health, Prosperity and longevity
The whole ceremony took about 1 hour to complete. By 1am most the people were seen leaving the temple.
