Celebrate Chinese New Year with a magical festive display of vibrant old Shanghai at Suria KLCC shopping mall.
The allure of old Shanghai comes to life as the mall’s centre court has been transformed into a lively old Shanghai street, complete with traditional double-storey shop lots.
Running from January 12 to February 18, 2024, the 38-day extravaganza unfolds the rich cultural tapestry of the 1920s and 1930s, often referred to as the “Paris of the Orient.”
The major draw is a colossal 60-ft tall 3D dragon replica at the Esplanade KLCC. Symbolising the Year of the Dragon, this installation, aptly named Dragon of Prosperity, promises to be a visual spectacle to all.
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.
Visitors can explore a beautifully adorned tailor shop showcasing the art of tailoring and the iconic cheongsam, and a restaurant featuring traditional reunion dinner dishes.
The setting also includes rickshaws, a retro vintage car for photo opportunities, and old movie projectors playing classic clips, capturing the oriental charm of yesteryears.
Shoppers who spend RM1,500 and above in two receipts will receive RM100 in Suria KLCC shopping e-vouchers along with a set of red packets.
Meanwhile, those who purchase RM1,000 worth of Suria KLCC shopping e-vouchers will enjoy an extra RM100 in e-vouchers, limited to the first 50 shoppers.
Capture the essence of the era at the festive photobooth, where shoppers can dress up in traditional Chinese costumes and enjoy unlimited photo printouts, along with e-copies.
Other Instagram-worthy festive decorations can be found at the entrances of centre court, Esplanade KLCC, Ampang Mall and Ramlee Mall Level 1.
Shoppers who purchase the Suria Ribbon Pin at RM10 in support of Mental Health Awareness will receive a set of Chinese calligraphy couplets with auspicious greetings.
Suria KLCC Sdn Bhd CEO Francis Tan said, “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.
“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.”
