Get ready to experience an immersive Chinese New Year celebration by time travelling back to the vibrant heydays of old Shanghai. Suria KLCC’s Centre Court unfolds the rich cultural tapestry of the 1920s and 1930s, often called the “Paris of the Orient”.
At KLCC, shoppers can explore a lively old Shanghai street, complete with traditional double-storey shop lots. Among the engaging experiences, visitors can check out a beautifully adorned tailor shop showcasing the art of tailoring and the iconic cheongsam, and a restaurant featuring traditional reunion dinner dishes. The setting will also include rickshaws, a retro vintage car for photo opportunities, and old movie projectors playing classic clips, capturing the oriental charm of yesteryears.
Embrace the essence of the era by taking home some memorabilia at the Festive Photobooth, where shoppers can dress up in traditional Chinese costumes and enjoy unlimited photo printouts, along with e-copies. For more photo opportunities, the entrances of Centre Court, Esplanade KLCC, Ampang Mall and Ramlee Mall Level 1 come alive with Instagram-worthy festive decorations.
“Chinese New Year is not just a celebration; it’s a deeply meaningful cultural journey. At Suria KLCC, we’re honoured to curate an immersive experience that transports you to the captivating beauty and grace of old Shanghai era. This celebration is more than traditions; it’s about binding people together in a tapestry of shared heritage and joy,” says Francis Tan, CEO of Suria KLCC Sdn Bhd. “As we usher in the Year of the Dragon, Suria KLCC welcomes all to join us in celebrating the start of an auspicious year filled with luck and success.”
During weekends, shoppers will also witness the artistry of the Chinese calligrapher who will be creating the couplets live upon the Suria Ribbon Pin purchase. Waiting outside, the Esplanade KLCC takes centre stage with a colossal 60-ft tall 3D dragon replica. Symbolising the Year of the Dragon, this awe-inspiring installation, aptly named Dragon of Prosperity, promises to be a visual spectacle to all.
To further heighten the festive ambience, visitors can enjoy traditional Acrobatic Lion Dance performances every Sunday at 5 pm at the Esplanade KLCC, and Dragon Dance at the Centre Court every Saturday at 2 pm throughout the campaign duration.
