More than just a festive event; Chinese New Year is a kaleidoscope of traditions, flavours and emotions that come together to create a memorable experience. From the magnificent lion dances to the aromatic feasts, every moment is steeped in rich cultural heritage.
So, if you’re thinking of joining in the celebration, there’s no better place to stay than #OpusHospitality residences, where luxury and heartfelt hospitality waits to greet its guests.
Kuala Lumpur in Full Festive Glory
As Chinese New Year approaches, the city of Kuala Lumpur transforms into a dazzling spectacle of lights and colours. Every corner radiates joy and festivity. Iconic landmarks such as Pavilion KL and Suria KLCC are adorned with intricate red and gold décor, while Thean Hou Temple becomes a sanctuary of glowing lanterns and serene prayers.
Chinatown’s Petaling Street becomes a lively epicenter of celebration, featuring energetic lion and dragon dance performances, cultural showcases and stalls brimming with traditional delights like buttery pineapple tarts, sticky-sweet nian gao, and savory dumplings. The air buzzes with excitement, the scent of incense and the sound of celebratory firecrackers lighting up the night.
