Chap Goh Meh represents the fifteenth and final day of the Lunar New Year period as celebrated by Chinese communities. It refers to the fifteenth day of the first month, which is the occasion of the first full moon of the New Year.
It coincides with the Chinese Valentine's Day. It is also when young unmarried women gather to toss tangerines into the sea, in a hope that their future spouse will pick it up. In the past, this was also the only day that unmarried ladies could be seen with their partners. People used to write their names and telephone numbers on oranges that they threw into rivers or lakes.
