New World Millennium Hong Kong Hotel welcomed the Year of the Horse with festive celebrations that delighted both guests and associates on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. The hotel’s main lobby came alive with a vibrant lion dance performance, as energetic lions weaved through the space, accompanied by the rhythmic beat of drums and cymbals, symbolising strength, prosperity and good fortune for the year ahead.

Adding to the celebratory spirit, Sagano’s culinary team hosted a traditional Japanese mochi-pounding ceremony, allowing guests to witness the centuries-old custom of creating sticky rice cakes, which signify abundance and auspicious beginnings. Guests were invited to participate, capturing photos and enjoying the lively atmosphere as the mochi was skillfully prepared.

The combination of the dramatic lion dance and the hands-on mochi-pounding experience created a dynamic and joyful start to the Lunar New Year, reinforcing the hotel’s commitment to celebrating cultural traditions while offering memorable experiences to all who visited.
