BRIGHTLY-LIT giant ‘rabbit’ decorations are set to lead visitors from the foothill to the 120-year-old Kek Lok Si temple in Penang to celebrate the coming Chinese New Year.

Framed with LED bulb wirings on lamp posts, they will burst into an array of rainbow colours when they are switched on during the annual lighting ceremony at 7pm tomorrow to usher in the Lunar Year of the Rabbit.

The ‘rabbit’ fixtures — along with 12,000 red and yellow lanterns and some 250,000 decoratives bulbs — will be a sight to behold at night as they will remain lighted up until March 2.
