Today, Penang is proud and grateful to have an act as unique and skillful as Chingay which has now become the ultimate signature act of Penang and also a main tourist attraction. Chingay, which is also known as a “Giant Flag Procession”, first originated from Penang in the early 19th century. Towering between 32ft to 35ft, the beauty of this act lies in its triangular flags which measures 25ft by 18ft with its flag pole made up of bamboo, making this giant flag the trademark of Penang's Chingay.

Chingay here in Penang is carried out by flag bearers who demonstrate their capabilities of balancing the giant flags. These giant flags are effortlessly thrown up into mid-air and balanced by the flag bearers creating suspense and awe for the audience who watches on in amazement and drawn breaths as the balancing of the gigantic and colourful triangular flags defy the motions of the wind while remaining upright either on one's forehead, teeth or a finger for mere seconds – causing plenty of anticipation. Chingay is not only an act but also an art taken on by people of our different Malaysian races and of all ages. This act delights the hearts of many – young and old. The act usually ends with a thunderous amount of applause and much praise for the flag bearer's victory. Though, it is a difficult task, a performance of great feat, only made fruitful with a lot of hard work and long hours of practices.

Time: 09.00 - 17.00 

Venue: Penang Botanical Gardens 

Workshops, contests, exhibitions and various classes on floral related topics will be held during this floral festival.

Remember to bring along your camera to snap photos of trees and plants that are bountiful in the gardens.

你知道嗎？
吃湯圓象徵團圓添歲


根據資料顯示，冬至吃湯圓的傳統習俗，在江南尤為盛行。湯圓是冬至必備食品，是一種用糯米粉製成的圓形甜品，“圓”意味著“團圓”、“圓滿”，冬至吃湯圓，象徵家庭和諧、吉祥，因此冬至吃湯圓又叫“冬至團”。

冬至團可用來祭祖，也可用於互贈親朋。舊時上海人最講究吃湯糰。古人有詩雲：“家家搗米做湯圓，知是明朝冬至天。”

在冬至前夜，主婦都會先把糯米浸水，用石磨磨成米漿，壓榨水分，成為“圓仔棲”，然後動員全家大小把它搓成小湯圓，分為紅、白兩種，紅的是用“紅花膏”染成。

冬至的清早，主婦用糖水把湯圓煮得浮起，然後拿去祭拜神明、祖先，過後再享用“冬至圓”，吃了冬至圓，帶有象徵團圓及添歲之意，因此也有“吃了湯圓大一歲”之說。
