A beautiful Chinese Pagoda decorated with evergreen lucky Kumquat trees will herald a new year of prosperity and good fortune for guests of all ages – who are invited to play a traditional game of “Da Tuoluo” by spinning a wooden top using a special whip. Two players will compete in an effort to keep their top spinning the longest to be declared the winner. 

Each winner will be able to choose a “lucky red envelope” to symbolize good wishes and luck for the year ahead. The envelopes will contain one of many exciting gifts such as vouchers for a free Carnaval ride and eight lucky winners every day will receive envelopes containing limited edition Global Village gold coins! This novel and exciting game gives guests a chance to experience the classic Chinese New Year hóngbāo (red envelope) tradition. The importance of this custom for Chinese New Year is more than about the prizes inside, the envelope itself symbolises good luck and prosperity for all those who receive it. 

Keeping up with its aim to celebrate cultures from around the world, Global Village offers guests plenty of opportunities to shop for unique gifts for friends and family and enjoy traditional food, beverages and sweet treats from Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and other Asian cultures at the Pavilions and the ever-popular Floating Market and Railway Market.
