EXPLORAQUEST PENANG - CHINGAY PRACTICE AT PENANG TOWN HALL - 5.2.2009

Fancy seeing a Chingay practice in Penang? Make your way to the Penang Town Hall on Jalan Padang Kota Lama and you can see this scene where new and young Chingayists congregate for training

What is Chingay? It is the sport of Balancing Giant Flags made up of a 25ft bamboo pole with a flag of similar length and has a weight of approximately 60lbs

Chingay procession is usually held to celebrate the birthdays of deities and the Goddess of mercy.

So who says there's nothing to see and nothing to do in Penang?
