AS the Lunar New Year draws near, do you still remember celebrating the New Year at your grandmother’s house as a child? Amid the rush of modern city life, the simple and heartfelt traditions of the past may feel like a distant memory. For Malaysians, the story of the Lunar New Year is not just a celebration; it is a legacy passed down through generations.
Gurney Plaza invites you to "The Timeless Reunion", reliving the cherished traditions that fill hearts with joy.
Gurney Plaza, strategically located along Penang's famous Gurney Drive promenade, just three kilometres northwest of Georgetown's city centre, is the island's premier lifestyle shopping mall and a one-stop destination for shopping and entertainment, catering to families and tourists alike.
Step into its atrium, transformed into a nostalgic courtyard inspired by Malaysia's unique New Year culture.
Blooming bougainvillea, a symbol of resilience and beauty, climbs aged walls adorned with auspicious couplets, embodying the enduring bonds of family and the timeless joy of reunion.
A reunion dinner table is laden with symbolic dishes, evoking the comforting flavours of home and the love shared across generations.
Vintage elements like bicycle, radio and calendar transport visitors back to cherished childhood moments, filled with laughter and warmth.
Every detail has been thoughtfully curated, inviting you to pause and savour the deeper meaning of the season — a celebration of togetherness, cultural legacy and the unbroken ties that unite everyone, no matter how far apart life takes them.
