asia Indonesia Indonesia Java Indonesia has millions of ethnic Chinese
citizens so Chinese New Year's celebrations called Imlek are a
national holiday, though they are still unofficial. Pontianak, Medan,
and Jakarta have large Chinese communities that celebrate the Lunar
New year on a large scale with tons of red decorations on homes and
firecrackers. Temples become crowded with people making offerings. The
oldest Chinese temple in Jakarta, Wihara Dharma Bhakti is located on
Petak Sembilan in the Kota district, Jakarta's Chinatown. Large temple
celebrations also occur in Mangga Besar, Pluit, and in the Boen Tek
Nio Temple in Tangerang. Public Barongsai or the Lion Dance is not
typical for Indonesia. Lion and dragon dance performers are usually
called to private parties or homes. Barongsai dancers arrive in groups
of 10 people with drummers and orchestra. Some shopping malls in
Jakarta also feature lion dance performances. CEphoto, Uwe Aranas
