The Indonesian Singkawang Lantern Festival Parade (Pawai Cap Go Meh), which has been suspended for two years due to the epidemic, has finally resumed. Singkawang, located in West Kalimantan Province, will hold grand parades and performances. It has a history of more than 200 years and attracts a large number of local citizens and foreign tourists.

According to legend, a plague broke out in Singkawang in the past. Afterwards, a ghost boy pointed out the maze and appeared to drive away evil spirits and cure diseases. The local government also believes that the Lantern Festival celebration can revive tourism and the economy, so it is actively promoting large-scale publicity. In addition to Chinese, there are also many Dayaks and Malays in Singkawang who participated in this celebration.
