SHOP AT A CLASSIC CHINESE GARDEN IN ONE UTAMA

A BEAUTIFUL garden scenery in a shopping mall may sound a little far fetched, but 1 Utama (New Wing) is doing just that for its Chinese New Year promotion from Jan 26 to Feb 20.

Dubbed the Blossoming Ties Chinese Garden, the backdrop occupies some 9,000 sq ft with a moon gate covered with intricate red Chinese screens beckoning visitors to explore the garden within. The journey unfolds across wooden walkways and bridges that lead to ornamental pavilions where marble tables and chairs are placed to allow shoppers to admire the view of lush bamboos, flowering cherry blossoms and kumquats in comfort.

Shoppers can also enjoy the serenity of water features and koi-filled pond that complement the pavilions, or get a nice view of the Chinese family house that serves as a the stage and backdrop for shows and performances. Among the shows that will be staged throughout the celebration are the Kwong Ngai Lion Dance Troupe performance, Tibetan dance, Shanghai Acrobatic Troupe performance and Chinese instrument orchestra performance.

To drum up the excitement, lucky draws and game shows will be held at scheduled times every Friday with jewellery prizes worth RM3,000 and lots more.

A FAMOSA to be rebuilt

Portions of the buried ruins of Fortaleza D’Malacca or the mighty A’Famosa fortress built in 1512 will be brought to “life” for the world to see.
About 350m of the buried walls of the fortress will be reconstructed stone by stone to its original dimensions of 8m by 5m and the completed structure would encompass the city’s 11.3ha heritage site in Bandar Hilir.
