He further added: “The Chinese New Year is an integral part of the Chinese culture. I would like to take this opportunity to invite everyone to Dragon City to witness the celebrations and take part in the festivities and competitions we have incorporated for the duration of the exciting celebrations. I take this opportunity to wish our customers and everyone in the Kingdom of Bahrain a happy new Chinese Year, hoping that they will have a great time with us during this specially organised festival.”
The organisation of special festivals to commemorate the Chinese New Year is a centuries-old tradition, celebrating the end of China’s lunar calendar. Each Chinese year bears the name of an animal of the Chinese constellations.
The Chinese calendar is divided into 12 sections, each of which holds the name of an animal. But each section lasts for one year rather than one month, as it’s the case of the Gregorian or the Hijri calendars.
Dragon City is a first of its kind project in the Kingdom of Bahrain and it includes Dragon Mall, Dragon Apartments, Dining Village, Dragon Plaza and an allocated area for warehouses. Dragon City is home to more than 787 commercial units, effectively making it the largest wholesale and retail trading centre in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Located South-West of Diyar Al Muharraq, it is strategically located in close proximity to Bahrain’s International Airport, the state-of-the-art Khalifa Bin Salman Port and the Capital of the Kingdom of Bahrain, Manama, making it ideal and providing easy access to customers from both the Kingdom and beyond. Dragon City gives to its customers, including local consumers, trade customers and tourists, an access to a wide range of offers and high quality Chinese products.
