Meanwhile, in Bali’s tranquil embrace, the Capella Ubud is introducing its guests to the mystical world of bamboo sculpture under the guidance of master artisan Gusti Ngurah Udianata. His creations are sculptures and narratives carved in bamboo, reflecting Bali’s spiritual essence and daily life. The resort’s dragon lantern-making activity, scheduled from 9-11 February, promises to be a gateway into the island’s soul.

Extending the celebration to the serene shores of Tufu Bay, Capella Tufu Bay showcases the genius of Dundun, a self-taught craftsman and culinary artist. Dundun’s lanterns are not mere decorations but stories in silk and light, each a tribute to the rich tapestry of Chinese history and culture. Participants here will learn the art of dragon embellishment on traditional lanterns, which requires precision and an understanding of historical narratives.

In Shanghai’s Xuhui District, the Capella Shanghai is preparing to dazzle guests with a series of ‘Capella Moments.’ The hotel invites guests to immerse themselves in local culture, from writing blessings in the traditional “Fú” character to exploring the city’s heritage through a unique ‘Bike & Bite’ experience. This excursion is a tour and a passage through the heart of Shanghai’s Lunar New Year celebrations.
