THIS Lunar New Year, Sunway Putra Mall is collaborating with The Selangor and Kuala Lumpur Teochew Association for “A Teochew Heritage Celebration” to promote and preserve the Teochew culture and customs among the younger generation.
The décor is inspired by the Teochew region’s most recognisable landmark, the Guangji Bridge, which is one of the famous ancient bridges in China that spans over the Han River in Chaozhou of Guangdong Province.
The Main Concourse is grandly decorated with ancient architecture and floating wooden boats that resembles the surrounding of Guanji Bridge. There is an arch at the entrance, followed by three floating wooden boats lined up all the way to the traditional bridge pavilion that is perfect for a photo opportunity. Shoppers can take a stroll at the courtyard and breathe in the joy of spring.
There is also a Teochew house with intricate decorations and carvings that acts as a platform to showcase more than seven designs of “Teochew Lanterns” and “Red Head Junk”. A complimentary photobooth area is also available throughout the period where visitors can dress up in Opera costumes and take as many pictures as they wish. Also, spot Lunar New Year elements such as lanterns and couplets at the Main Concourse.
As part of the Lunar New Year celebration, the mall is running a photo contest called #WeAreGaGiNang, where participants will stand a chance to WIN a 6D/5N trip for two to Chaouzou, China worth up to RM10,000!
Contest period starts from Jan 5 to Feb 19, 2019. Check out the details on their official website.
