In this Chinese New Year, the Winds of Fortune has landed in Sunway Pyramid! When you are at the LG1 concourse of Sunway Pyramid, you can see this!
A replica of a Chinese junk, the Sha-Chuan, docking at Fortune Harbour! This is the CNY theme for Sunway Pyramid.
The set-up in the Concourse brings us back to the
1870s during the golden ages of modern Chinese when goods were transported via
water route in business transactions between merchants and traders. The junk in
fact has a history that is dated back in 770 to 446 BC, during the Spring and
Autumn Period where the 40 feet tall and 40 feet wide Chinese junk made from
solid wood originated from the Jiangsu
Province. Through the
tide of time, the Sha-Chuan has earned its many names, first as a sand-proof
flat-bottom ship during the Song Dynasty, a flat-bottom ship in the Yuan Dynasty
and finally the ‘sand ship’ during the Ming Dynasty.
Surrounding the concourse are soft willow trees, red
lanterns cascading from the top of the junk and nearby the junk a boat. Laid
scattered around the junk’s deck are sacks, crates and wooden barrels.
Back to the media launch for Winds of Fortune 2013. The launch event start with lion dance.
The welcome speech by Mr HC Chan, Chief Executive Officer of Sunway Shopping
Malls.
In his speech, he says “This year, we take on a unique approach for the Chinese New
Year celebration to wish all shoppers a smooth sailing journey of prosperity
into the year 2013. A Chinese junk is a symbol of wealth because it is a mode
of transportation that carries goods for trading and explores a world of
possibilities. Let us journey together into this exciting year with enthusiasm
and hopes for prosperity, fortune and longevity.”
