A Series of Cultural Activities and Engaging Experiences from Now Until October 20, Culminating in a Hanfu Parade to Illuminate the Mid-Autumn Festival
MACAU SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 September 2024 – As the golden autumn moon graces the night sky, China prepares to celebrate two significant milestones – the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China and the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Macau Special Administrative Region. In honor of these “Double Anniversaries”, Galaxy Macau™ Integrated Resort (hereafter referred to as “Galaxy Macau”) is hosting an extraordinary celebration until October 20, featuring a series of captivating Chinoiserie activities that immerse guests in the rich tapestry of traditional Chinese culture.
At the entrance of the Crystal Lobby, the “Jumping Fish, Blooming Lotus” installation features two giant goldfish, bringing to life the poetic imagery of “dancing fish” from the famous Song dynasty poet Xin Qiji. Intricately crafted by artisans of intangible cultural heritage, every detail of these lanterns captures the fluidity of the goldfish’s movements as they emerge from a lotus-filled pond, reflecting the full moon’s shadow. The blooming lotus holds special significance as it celebrates the 25th anniversary of Macau SAR, adding an air of elegance to the festival.
Throughout the celebration, Galaxy Macau’s renowned restaurants, such as Bei Shan Lou, Tam Chai Yu Chun, and Pak Loh Chiu Chow Restaurant, will offer a curated selection of seasonal delicacies, allowing guests to savor the authentic flavors of China. Children can participate in traditional Mid-Autumn games, such as riddle-solving, with the chance to win small gifts upon check-in. They will also encounter Wavey, the peacock mascot of Galaxy Kidz, dressed in Hanfu, adding to the festive joy. At Galaxy Promenade, guests will enjoy cash vouchers with no minimum spending requirements, while several new flagship and pop-up stores from top brands are expected. In October, the celebrations will reach their zenith with a series of breathtaking performances at Galaxy Arena by legendary singer Andy Lau and the world-renowned tenor Plácido Domingo, providing a grand finale to these festivities.
