<p>According to New Zealand media outlet, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/350179057/chinese-new-year-dragon-breaks-world-record">Stuff</a>, nine months of planning went into the drone formation, resulting in this mesmerising show, which many say is even better than fireworks.</p>
<p>As the dragon gracefully circled the building, it even  transitioned through a spectrum of colours, from blue to green, red, and yellow hues.﻿</p>

<div class="">
<p>Based in Johor Bahru, Wong and Lee are well known for their creative contributions to architecture. </p>
<p>In harmony with Kwai Chai Hong&#8217;s theme, plus + plus drew inspiration from the dynamic movement of reshuffling mahjong tiles. </p>
<p>The act of &#8216;reshuffling&#8217; (洗牌) symbolises a fresh beginning, aligning with the essence of Chinese New Year, particularly significant in the Year of the Dragon. </p>
<p>According to Wong, it also symbolises prosperity, union, harmony, and peace. Now, the mahjong game set has become the centerpiece of the tourist attraction.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Lee said, &#8220;The mahjong panels and wire mesh collectively craft the silhouette of a Dragon, awakening from its long slumber as winter ends and soaring through the skies, representing hope for a better and more prosperous beginning in the Year of the Dragon. </p>
<p>&#8220;This installation is more than an artistic display; it is a tangible representation of hope, inviting individuals to contemplate and embrace a new life chapter as they welcome the Year of the Dragon.&#8221;&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Zeen Chang, Managing Partner of Bai Chuan Management, remarked that Rise of the Dragon 蟄龍覺醒 is an apt name for their installation, as it represents a beast that has finally gathered renewed vitality and power after a long hibernation, and is now ready to take on the new year</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>&#8220;Just like how each mahjong game is played, the start of the game is where both our hands are mixing the tiles in fluid circular motions and rhythms, like the ascension of a dragon&#8217;s spirit slithering awake from its slumber. </p>
<p>&#8220;Kwai Chai Hong is proud to embrace, preserve, and revive cultural traditions, as part of the joy of sharing unique parts of history with other Malaysians,&#8221; she said. </p>
