Sunway Hotel Resort & Spa’s The Resort Café was filled to the brim thanks to its New Year’s culinary offerings, while Sunway Pyramid was bustling with shoppers, especially at its festive-decorated concourse areas. In its Blue Concourse where the Sunway Pyramid German Christmas market was taking place, visitors were seen happily participating in activities such as a Santa Ring Toss, Snowball Drop, and marvelling at the giant 36-feet tall traditional Christmas Pyramid featuring German carved figures on each level. In the Orange Concourse, families experienced using an abacus and took photos at the Bank of Fortune Chinese New Year set-up resembling a traditional bank in ancient China.
