On January 19, 2025, the Swiss Chinese Cultural Association (SCCA) hosted a delightful Chinese New Year luncheon at Suan Long Asian Restaurant in Kloten. 

This festive event, brimming with a rich New Year atmosphere, attracted numerous Chinese expatriates and local friends, who gathered to celebrate the arrival of the Lunar New Year.   The restaurant was adorned with traditional Chinese decorations, exuding a vibrant holiday spirit. Guests enjoyed a sumptuous Chinese-style feast thoughtfully prepared by the organizers. Alongside the delicious food, attendees were treated to an impressive Qigong performance that showcased the elegance of Chinese culture. The karaoke session was another highlight of the day, as participants eagerly took to the stage to showcase their singing talents, filling the venue with laughter and joy.   The lucky draw added an extra layer of excitement to the celebration. 

Sponsored by Mr. Oskar, Mr. Matt, China Foods Alliance® and Ms. Suping, the event featured a variety of exquisite prizes. Lucky winners received their gifts amid cheers and applause, bringing even more happiness and surprises to the festivities.   The Lunar New Year is a time for reunion and sharing. Through this event, the SCCA not only provided attendees with delectable cuisine and joyful moments but also created a platform for Chinese residing in Switzerland to strengthen connections and share their culture. The organizers expressed hope for more opportunities in the future to gather and celebrate together.   

With lively interactions and heartfelt New Year blessings, the luncheon concluded on a joyful note. Participants remarked that the event not only allowed them to savor the familiar flavors of home but also deeply experience the charm of Chinese traditions.   Wishing everyone a New Year filled with good health, success, and happiness!
