Eyes on Miri

Well it's the time of the year again - this Chinese New Years' falls exactly on February 14th - Valentine's Day - and we would like to wish our readers a joyous and prosperous New Tiger Year and a romantic Valentine's night out.

As such - it's Gong Xi Bazaar time in Miri Town going on in High Street & Kingsway Road in town starting today at 5pm.

There will be a Dragon Dance performance and some other performances every single night until Chinese New Year's Eve.

Watch a video highlight here (2008).
