IPC Shopping Centre Soars Into 2024 with A Loong Ma-Jestic Lunar New Year Showcase

The shopping centre embarks on a new decade with its community with 'Long Ma Jing Shen' positive energy and exciting festive offerings

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Jan. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- This Lunar New Year, IPC Shopping Centre is proud to unveils its 'Loong Ma-Jestic' Garden. From now until 25^th February, visitors can enjoy continuous blessings and abundance through workshops, giveaways, rewards, performances, and family-friendly activities set up by the shopping centre.  

In honour of the centre's 20^th anniversary celebration, visitors will be welcomed with a grand archway adorned with lantern-lit walkway surrounded by cherry blossoms as they venture into the 'Loong Ma-Jestic' Garden at the concourse area on Level G. This vibrant and bold display not only embodies the festival's promise of prosperous returns but celebrates the shopping centre's legacy, serving as a heartfelt tribute to the celebration of a season of renewal and life.

Within the garden, visitors are also invited to walk through the Bridge of Prosperity together with their loved ones and journey towards a year filled with renewal and abundance. They can also make their personal wishes for good luck, prosperity, and success for the coming year on the Red Wisdom Wishing Tree nestled at the heart of the set-up. Families can also create memories together at the play area and watch their creativity come to life through the giant LED projection when they design or colour their unique Små Buddies mascots.

Ms Karyn Lim, General Manager of IPC Shopping Centre said, "As we move forward into a new decade of serving our community, we hope to continue being a space that encapsulates the essence of the Chinese idiom, 'Long Ma Jing Shen'（龍馬精神）, radiating positive energy, joy, and happiness, making IPC Shopping Centre the preferred meeting place for all our visitors. With elements of "Loong" (dragon) and "Ma" (horse), which is also represented by our iconic Dala horse, a symbol of our Swedish heritage, featured across the concourse, we hope to also spread wealth, fortune, and blessings in abundance to our shoppers."

She added, "We have created a truly immersive experience that blends traditional Chinese elements with contemporary festivities. Our visual installations reflect our commitment to celebrating cultural diversity and heritage, providing a perfect way to honour the rich traditions of this important festival. Shoppers can indulge in various festive delights, enjoy contemporary and Instagram-worthy decorations, and witness an electrifying clash of lion and dragon dance performances by the returning, award-winning Yi Meng Lion Art troupe (一鳴獅藝舘) on 10^th and 11^th February at concourse. We have also arranged Små Club activities that are child-friendly for family to bond and make the Lunar New Year celebration extra special. With so much to offer, shoppers can look forward to a unique and unforgettable experience at IPC Shopping Centre."

During this period, visitors will also be able to browse through various pop-up stores stationed around the concourse area forming a Lunar Marketplace; take part in the DIY workshops with activities like painting CNY elements or crafting festive decorations at Funland on Level 2; and get into the festive mood with God of Prosperity and IPC Små Buddies Mascot walkabout, oriental themed performances, and acrobatic lion and dragon dance performances.
