Armenian Street Park in George Town was lit up for Chinese New Year 2026 as part of the build-up to the Penang Miaohui celebrations, with the area illuminated during an official lighting-up ceremony. The park’s central decoration highlight is “Xiao Jun,” a cheerful horse installation unveiled at Armenian Park, set as a photo spot for visitors. Surrounding it are six golden “trees” with shimmering leaves and a set of large drums bearing auspicious greetings, adding to the festive display and performance backdrop. These decorations help set the stage for Miaohui 2026 (themed around a “decoding” cultural journey), which organisers describe as a major annual Chinese New Year cultural programme in the Armenian Street heritage enclave with free public admission.
