Suria Klcc Enchants With Old Shanghai Theme For Chinese New Year

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 24 (Bernama) --  Suria KLCC, Malaysia's iconic experiential shopping destination, is set to enchant with an immersive Chinese New Year (CNY) celebration by transporting visitors to the vibrant heydays of old Shanghai.

The 38-day extravaganza which has been running since Jan 12 until Feb 18, unfolds the rich cultural tapestry of the 1920s and 1930s, often referred to as the ‘Paris of the Orient’.

“Suria KLCC's Centre Court presents shoppers with a lively old Shanghai street, complete with traditional double-storey shop lots, where visitors can explore a beautifully adorned tailor shop showcasing the art of tailoring, 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,” the mall said in a statement.

Meanwhile, the Esplanade KLCC takes centre stage with a colossal 60-foot tall three-dimensional (3D) dragon replica which symbolises the Year of the Dragon, aptly named Dragon of Prosperity, promising 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.

The entrances of Centre Court, Esplanade KLCC, Ampang Mall and Ramlee Mall Level 1 also come alive with Instagram-worthy festive decorations for more photo opportunities, where shoppers can dress up in traditional Chinese costumes and enjoy unlimited photo printouts, along with e-copies.

Suria KLCC Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Francis Tan, in the same statement, welcomed the public to join in celebrating the start of an auspicious year filled with luck and success.

“At Suria KLCC, we're honoured to curate an immersive experience that transports you to the captivating beauty and grace of the old Shanghai era. This celebration is more than traditions; it's about binding people together in a tapestry of shared heritage and joy,” he said.

Apart from that, shoppers who spend RM1,500 and above in two receipts at the shopping mall will receive RM100 in Suria KLCC shopping e-vouchers along with a set of Suria KLCC Red Packets.

Joining in the festivities from Jan 19 to Feb 12 and Jan 12 to Feb 15, respectively, are Alamanda Shopping Centre, Putrajaya and Mesra Mall in Kemaman, Terengganu, which are also under the management of Suria KLCC Sdn Bhd.

At Alamanda Shopping Centre, shopping is set to be a rewarding affair as those who spend RM600 and above in two receipts at any specialty store will be rewarded with a RM30 Alamanda shopping voucher.

As a gesture to high-spending patrons, those spending RM1,500 and above in two receipts at any specialty store will be entitled to a substantial RM80 Alamanda shopping voucher, according to the statement.

At Mesra Mall, The Shoppers Rewards Programme offers an exquisite teapot adorned with a charming floral design to 500 shoppers spending RM350 and above in two receipts at any specialty store.
