Spin for good luck at Sunway Malls

Looking to turn around your fortune in the new year, head over to Sunway Putra Mall and spin a pinwheel which is believed would turn around your luck for the better.

As Chinese tradition has it, the pinwheel, known as feng che in Mandarin, is a traditional toy to turn luck around or turn obstacles into opportunities when it begins to spin with the wind.

Sunway Putra Mall and all other Sunway Malls are celebrating the coming Chinese New Year with a unified theme of celebrating traditions.  With a recent grand launch of the celebration, Sunway Malls unveils 5 different Lunar New Year attractions at its malls.

Sunway Putra Mall’s Lunar New Year is themed “Wind of Blessings”. The mall has transformed its atrium with a mandarin orange garden adorned with colourful pinwheels, majestic lanterns and a traditional pagoda.

Feast your eyes on the green landscape and a rustic wooden bridge over a man-made pond in the garden. There is a complimentary photo booth for photo opportunities.

Sunway Pyramid with theme “The Merriment of Spring” has its LG2 Orange Concourse decorated with cherry blossoms and willows. An oriental arch towers over the entrance is flanked by two imperial guardian lions. A traditional tea house is set up as a photo booth creating a unique experience. Complimentary photo print is available for shoppers throughout the festive celebration.

Sunway Carnival Mall also celebrates “The Merriment of Spring” with traditional performances over the five weekends which include Season Drum, Dragon Dance, Chinese Cultural Dance, Chinese Music Orchestra and God of Prosperity Walkabout.

Traditional games such as Chinese chess, Chinese Shuttlecock and “Hit the Pot” are made available for shoppers to enjoy while embracing traditions.  Sweet treats like Dragon’s Beard Candy, “Tanghulu” (candied fruits on stick), “Ting Ting” Candy and “Muah Chee” are available here every Saturdays that are sure to bring back happy childhood memories.

Going back in time with “A Celebration of Legacies”, Sunway Velocity Mall has Chinese surnames adorning lanterns and other major decorations, inspired by The Hundred Family Surnames (“Bai Jia Xing”), a book listing all the known Chinese surnames during the tenth century. Find yours at Sunway Velocity Mall while enjoying the largest indoor flower market which will tantalize your sense of sight, smell and touch.

Grab your Chinese New Year supplies at Sunway Giza Mall, Kota Damansara, with weekend bazaar and Lunar New Year Fair which offers selections of cookies, hampers, clothes and festive décor.

Lion Dance Performance kick-started the launch of the celebrations at Sunway Putra Mall recently. Followed by the unveil of the storytelling miniatures that symbolises the elements of each mall.

A 24-Season Golden Drums performance took centre stage led by 15 drummers from Sunway University. A Chinese Opera performance wrapped up the the launch event. Children from Yayasan Sunbeams Home and Yayasan Chow Kit (YCK) were also invited to be part of the festive celebration.

Not forgetting to embark on an act of kindness, Sunway Malls advocate charitable causes by encouraging the malls and their community to give to those in need, in particular the lesser fortunate families as this is a time for reunion and celebration.
