The event also served as the backdrop for the annual Acrobatic Lion Dance Championship, which Gamuda Land has hosted for the past eight years and has received tremendous public support.

"We have seen an increased interest and footfall over the years, signifying great interest in understanding the rich and vibrant heritage of the Chinese community in Malaysia. Through this, we aim to foster greater appreciation and understanding of Chinese culture among people of all backgrounds. Our goal is to create an inclusive event that brings together diverse communities, promotes cultural exchange, and highlights the importance of preserving and honouring cultural traditions," said Roger Ko, Gamuda Land’s General Manager of Mall Operations.

The weekend also featured a variety of activities catering to all ages and interests, including a Kids Lion Dance Competition and a 24 Festive Drums Competition.

Attendees also had the opportunity to participate in a Cultural Colouring Contest and explore Malaysian cultural heritage through various exhibitions and displays.

Embracing the philosophy of "When we get the places right, the town works," Gamuda Land ensures that each township has a unique personality with great community spaces and thoughtful placemaking. This involves working harmoniously with nature, listening to the land, and creating parks and lakes that attract a rich biodiversity. Such careful planning and dedication to preserving natural surroundings provide a distinct living experience for residents, making towns that truly work for the people who call them home.
