This Signature Applewood Peking Duck boasts a delectable harmony of crispy, smoky-sweet skin and tender, succulent meat, with the subtle infusion of applewood adding a uniquely aromatic and flavourful dimension to this culinary masterpiece.

The Year of the Dragon, symbolizing power, honour, luck, and success, will be brought to life through a dazzling transformation of Fairmont Pacific Rim. From the lobby to The Pacific Gallery on the second-floor landing, guests can immerse themselves in themed décor that captures the festive energy of the Lunar New Year. A self-serve Lunar New Year portrait studio in The Pacific Gallery, complemented by a photographer available every Friday to Sunday, promises to create lasting memories.

For families seeking a more intimate experience, Oakridge Park Gallery, located in Rogers Tower, offers daily family-focused programming. This comprehensive celebration extends beyond the palate, enveloping guests in the cultural richness of the Lunar New Year.

To enhance the experience, Fairmont Pacific Rim invites guests to indulge in a Lunar New Year-inspired cocktail menu, featuring expertly crafted libations. The Lunar New Year Dim Sum Menu is available daily from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, ensuring a sumptuous celebration that transcends traditional dining.

Fish dishes during Lunar New Year symbolize a wish for prosperity and abundance, as the word for fish in Mandarin sounds like the word for surplus, conveying hopes for wealth and good fortune in the coming year.

For those looking to extend the festivities beyond Fairmont Pacific Rim, Mott 32 Vancouver invites diners to embark on a gastronomic journey with their exclusive Lunar New Year Menu. From February 9 to 24, Mott 32 Vancouver will showcase a limited-time menu curated to symbolize the traditional blessings of the Lunar New Year. With dishes representing good fortune, good health, luck, and prosperity, guests can choose from à la carte options or experience the opulent feast as a set menu.

As the Dragon takes center stage in Chinese culture, Mott 32's celebration aligns with the joyous festivities that mark the Lunar New Year. With a history rooted in modern Hong Kong, Mott 32 continues to captivate diners worldwide, and 2024, the Year of the Dragon, marks a significant milestone with planned openings in Toronto and Scottsdale.

For an unforgettable start to the Year of the Dragon, Fairmont Pacific Rim and Mott 32 Vancouver invite you to savour the richness of Chinese culture through exceptional culinary offerings and cultural activations.
