members and guests. On 24
Feb 2018, Bukit Kiara Resort
welcomed the Year of the Dog
with an Acrobatic Lion Dance
performance. Performed in
a Chinese lion costume and
accompanied by beating drums,
gongs and cymbals, the dance
is believed to bring luck and
good fortune. The lion dance
troupe mingled with members
and guests and in return, they
participated in “feeding” the
lions with angpows. Members
and guests were thrilled with
the free horse carriage rides
and were entertained by the
dazzling display of the acrobatic
lion dance performance.
Mandarin oranges were given
away to everyone, symbolising
prosperity. Gifting these sweet
citrus fruit during the New Year
is an integral part of Chinese
culture.
