Spring Blossoms: Gallop into Prosperity

Celebrate the Lunar New Year with Spring Blossoms: Gallop into Prosperity 2026 at Flower Dome, open from Jan. 16 to March 1, 2026, from 9 AM to 9 PM. Eight life-sized horse lanterns, handcrafted by Chinese artisans using Tang Dynasty techniques, take centre stage amid plum blossoms, orchids, chrysanthemums, and bamboo — the revered “Four Gentlemen” of Chinese art. These majestic horses, inspired by the iconic Ba Jun Tu (八骏图) painting, symbolize strength, vitality, and success, offering visitors a visual feast of cultural elegance.

The floral display is an inaugural collaboration with Shanghai Gardens Group, drawing inspiration from Jiangnan Gardens, known for their tranquil harmony and classical beauty. Guests can wander through moon gates, pause at pavilions, and admire seasonal blooms such as dahlias and azaleas, evoking the serene landscapes cherished by Chinese literati. Every detail is designed to immerse visitors in the poetic grace and philosophical depth of classical Chinese garden aesthetics.

Visitors are also invited to strike the Blooming Drum of Spring, adorned with the Baoxiang Flower motif, to usher in good fortune. According to the auspicious saying Hua Gu Ming Chun (花鼓鸣春), beating flower drums heralds the arrival of spring, making this festive experience both symbolic and interactive.
