             RING IN THE YEAR OF THE RAT WITH
 THE PENINSULA HONG KONG’S LUNAR NEW YEAR CELEBRATIONS

           The city’s Grande Dame will offer a variety of special events and experiences
                         to help guests make memories that last a lifetime

The lunar New Year is the most important festival on the Chinese calendar, which is why The
Peninsula Hong Kong has arranged an array of exciting events to help the guests to celebrate the
Year of The Rat in style.

A ‘Must See’ Event
Symbolising prosperity and good luck for the upcoming year, the lion dance is one of the most
indispensable traditions of the Lunar New Year, and therefore the ideal way to kick-start the hotel’s
festivities. Featuring nine lions and one dragon, the traditional dance can be enjoyed in The Lobby
on Saturday, 25 January 2020, the first day of the Lunar New Year. Elaborate decorations featuring
peach blossoms, red flowers and festive lanterns will adorn all areas of the grand building and
forecourt to symbolise good luck, while pink plum blossoms and kumquat bushes laden with
golden-orange fruit will aim to bring prosperity while providing a backdrop against which guests
can enjoy a collection of curated experiences for all the family.

Festive Puddings and Hampers
A time-honoured tradition in their own right, Spring Moon’s celebrated Lunar New Year puddings,
hampers and delectable dim sum collection, offer an irresistible taste of the season. Priced at HK$
318 each and available in Taro, Water Chestnut, Turnip and Spring Moon New Year Pudding
flavours, each pudding’s creation is overseen by Spring Moon’s Dim Sum Sous Chef Kanny Cheuk.
The deluxe gourmet hamper, Luxury Gourmet Hamper priced at HK$ 3,688, is available as an
ideal gift for relatives and business associates – or simply for guests’ own enjoyment.
