THIS Chinese New Year (CNY), step into a world of enchantment as Gurney Plaza in Penang hosts a breathtaking celebration of longevity and prosperity for the upcoming Lunar New Year.
Through its captivating CNY decorations, the heart of the mall has been designed to immerse all shoppers in the beauty of tradition and festivities.
Gracing the Centre Atrium with its symbolism of strength and good fortune, shoppers can find an 18ft tall majestic pink dragon to welcome the New Year.
Accompanied by seven adorable baby pink dragons, the mythical creatures extend their warmest CNY wishes to all our visitors.
With its long body, serving as multiple arches, it carries a symbol of power and protection for the prosperous year ahead.
Apart from that, shoppers and visitors can also admire the grandeur of Gurney Plaza’s stage, adorned with a colossal pearl, representing wisdom and wealth.
This exquisite centrepiece adds a touch of elegance to the festive ambience, promising a year filled with prosperity and success.

The railings are adorned with intricate Chinese red cloths and pink lanterns, illuminating the surroundings with a warm and vibrant glow.
