CNY light installations at Putuo Village, Malaysia 

If you’ve checked out all the CNY events in Singapore, it might be time to look a little further afield. Putuo Village in Kulai, Malaysia has gorgeous Year of the Snake light displays for you to check out this Lunar New Year. Think River Hongbao meets Light to Night.

The Buddhist village has free entry to its Spring Festival showcase every weekend from 9am to 10pm this February. And trust us, it’s worth the drive down.

Step into Putuo Village and you’ll immediately be swept up in its Spring Festival celebrations. Open every weekend night throughout February, the village offers a chance to extend the Lunar New Year joy well beyond CNY. Surrounded by a bamboo forest that echoes the charm of Shunan Bamboo Forest in China, the village has a vibe that is both tranquil and exciting.
