Now that we’re halfway through January, glittery tinsel decor and Christmas carols have made way for huat red lanterns and “dong dong qiang”-backed tracks.
Chinese New Year is approaching — on Feb 10 this year, to be exact — and we all know what that means: time to get ready for angbaos, pigging out on bak kwa and pineapple tarts, and shopping trips for your latest CNY fit.
Like any other festive holiday, it’s also an opportunity to spend time with loved ones, whether it’s during reunion dinner or house visitations. Family outings are also a great way to make memories together, and thankfully for those of us in Singapore, you don’t have to go far or look hard to find plenty of exciting things to do.
As part of CapitaLand malls’ Tales of Joyful Reunion, you will find everything from impressive installations that will elevate your selfies to fun pop-up stores where you can shop for both yourself and your friends at its many shopping malls.
Dance of the Dragon light & music show will bring your CNY #OOTDs to the next level
Since it will be the Year of the Dragon, it only makes sense that the mythical beast takes centre stage.
CapitaLand malls Funan and CQ @ Clarke Quay will take turns featuring a massive sculpture of a majestic dragon that swirls to life via a dazzling 10-minute light show every half an hour.
Called Dance of the Dragon, the 8m-wide installation was designed by local studio Tell Your Children and is sure to get every camera phone in the vicinity pointed at it and snapping away as the light and music spectacle rages on.
Enter the dragon: Be dazzled by the Dance of the Dragon, an 8m-wide installation was designed by local studio Tell Your Children.
This is your chance to get creative with your poses or encourage your little ones to unleash their imagination as they pretend to be the cool protagonists of a fantasy drama.
If you’ve got killer new CNY clothes to show off, this is also a fabulous way of making your #FitCheck shots stand out — it’s not every day you get to model alongside a dancing dragon, after all.
Don’t forget to frame your photo with CapitaLand’s own Instagram filter for an eye-catching and extra festive final touch — you may even stand to win a $50 eCapitaVoucher when you tag @CapitaLandMallsSG.
