Enter The Dragon: The Chinese New Year Launch at SM City North EDSA

Richard Yap as the Chinese Emperor

Last Sunday, SM City North EDSA hosted an early Chinese New Year celebration hosted by Chris Tiu at The Block. It was a fun-filled afternoon and hopefully a lot of luck in the coming year of the Dragon.

The Chinese Symphony Orchestra

At the beginning, the history of the Chinese Spring Festival was told by Chris Tiu, with Richard Yap (My Binondo Girl) as the Chinese Emperor. It was then followed by a song number by the Chinese Symphony Orchestra.

Wushu Demo

Dragon Dance

The story continues and demonstrations of Wushu were presented as the Emperor wanted the Chinese dwellers to fight for their kingdom. A dragon and lion dance were also presented to everyone. It is necessary to ward off bad luck and for good fortune to come in.
