MARCO Polo Plaza kicked off the Chinese New Year celebration on Jan. 27 with the annual Yee Sang Tossing Ceremony participated by special guests from the Filipino-Chinese community.

In keeping up with tradition, Marco Polo Plaza once again prepared a giant Yee Sang bowl at the lobby where special guests tossed the salad with the hotel’s signature giant chopsticks. This tradition is also known as a Prosperity Toss and it is said that the higher you toss the salad into the air, the more luck you will have.

Aside from the Yee Sang ceremony, a lion and dragon dance commenced at the hotel to bring in more good fortune. There was also the traditional tossing of coins, eye dotting ceremony and lighting up of firecrackers to ward away evil. Another ceremony will also be held this morning.
