Celebrate Chinese New Year with a heartfelt cultural workshop that brings tradition and love together! Join us for a unique cultural experience where you’ll:
Make Soap with Pomelo Leaves
Craft your own soap using pomelo leaves. Pomelo leaf soap is used during Chinese New Year for its symbolic properties of cleansing away bad luck and negativity, promoting good health, prosperity, and positive energy. It’s believed to bring good fortune and create a refreshing, calming atmosphere for the new year.
Learn Chinese Calligraphy
Try your hand at Chinese calligraphy by inscribing the character 福 (meaning "fortune") on red paper, to invite good luck, prosperity, and blessings into the home.
Explore Chinese New Year Traditions
Immerse yourself in the spirit of the Chinese New Year, combining tradition, creativity, and love.
