Chinese New Year is a festive time in Salatiga. On the fifteenth and last day of celebration, also called "Cap Go Meh", can be witnessed a compelling performance of a large dragon puppet, the "Barongsai". This puppet is usually played by two or more people, performing an entrancing Chinese traditional dance at "Klenteng Hok Tek Bio" and along "Sukowati" street, where the temple is located. On this special day, civilians gather around the temple where a big celebration filled with performances is held and "angpao" (red envelope) is given out.
