4:00PM | CNY 2024 Media Preview | Rise of the Dragon 蟄龍覺醒

This CNY, the back alley of Kwai Chai Hong hosts an epic game of Mahjong as we present to you an installation entitled the Rise of the Dragon  蟄龍覺醒 - in collaboration with 2 super talented local artists Wong Jia Min and Lee Chaer Shean of Plus+Plus. Featuring an energetic, dynamic, and playful spin on the ancient game invented by the Chinese from the Qing Dynasty in the mid-to-late 1800s, join in the fun as we welcome the auspicious new year of the Dragon.

Here is another interesting folklore about this grand mythical creature. Legend has it, that the Great Dragon hibernates in deep slumber every Winter as it recharges and gathers all its energy patiently awaiting to spring into action on the first day of Spring! Combining that with the celebration of a new year, and a brand new refreshing start, there isn't a louder celebration than one with a game of Mahjong!
