The Narrative Arc
A three-act journey through wonder, discovery, and celebration—where every guest becomes part of an unforgettable story.
The Arrival
Guests enter through a silk-draped colonnade, welcomed by performers in merchant-caravan attire. RFID-enabled jade tokens activate personalized journey maps on mobile devices.
The Journey
Exploration of themed zones—each representing a stop along the ancient Silk Road. From calligraphy stations to tea ceremonies, from silk weaving demonstrations to spice markets.
The Celebration
The evening culminates in the Grand Pavilion with the Lantern Ascension ceremony—a breathtaking moment of collective fortune and prosperity.
Lantern Ascension
At the apex of the evening, guests gather in the Grand Pavilion as hundreds of illuminated lanterns rise in synchronized choreography, accompanied by a live orchestra crescendo. Each guest releases a personal wish lantern, creating a celestial tapestry of collective aspirations.
Each guest receives a silk wish ribbon to inscribe their New Year aspiration, attached to an individual lantern for the collective release.
