The Asia Lantern Carnival 2006 Review

Yesterday, we went to the Asia Lantern Carnival 2006 at Bukit Jalil. We've been to a previous one before a couple of years back and thought that this would be fun as well.

After a good seafood dinner, we headed towards Bukit Jalil. Soon we were jammed up from the Kesas highway to the stadium entrance. Were there actually so many people going there? Apparently so. This event is even supported by Tourism Malaysia.

After getting a parking spot, walking uphill and paying RM5 for the entrance fees, we were greeted by a mass of people. There were light displays (lanterns) and rows of stall tents where lots of people were selling their goods.

Overall it was slightly disappointing. It's more of a pasar malam at the stadium car park with a few big and interesting light displays. If you want to check it out, this carnival runs up to the end of the month.

The previous one a couple of years back was much better. There was even a Chinese acrobat and highwire show then.

Conclusion:
Samantha had a good time.
Worth going? Well, we will save you the time and entrance fee.
