1. Embrace the Fortune from the Money Tree

At the heart of SM City Molino, you’ll find the Money Tree, adorned with shimmering red envelopes. Tradition holds that these envelopes, filled with money, bring blessings and prosperity. Take a moment to tie your own red ribbon to the tree, symbolizing your hopes and dreams for the year ahead. As the wind rustles through the leaves, imagine the tree showering you with abundance.

2. Feel the Energy of the Breathing Dragon

Step into the Chinese New Year exhibit, where a magnificent dragon sculpture stands tall. Its sinuous body coils and undulates, capturing the essence of the mythical creature. As you walk around it, feel the energy pulsating through the air. The dragon is believed to bring strength, courage, and good fortune. Take a deep breath and let its vitality infuse you with positivity.
