A favorite shopping and photo destination for Shenzhen residents has undergone a festive transformation. To welcome the upcoming Year of the Horse, Shenzhen Bay MixC has launched a Spring Festival-themed fair that combines traditional Chinese elements with modern aesthetics.

Themed “BAY de PONY,” the fair draws inspiration from the Spring Festival and the Chinese zodiac sign of the horse. It brings together Shenzhen Bay MixC’s original horse-themed IP “Pony” and universal Chinese New Year wishes, creating a lineup of installations for visitors to interact and photograph.  

From a giant rotating horse installation accompanied by music, which symbolizes a continuous flow of good luck in the year ahead, to a pathway with horseshoe-shaped decorations that signify progress toward blessings, visitors can explore more than 30 installations imbued with auspicious meanings. 

To further enrich the experience, the shopping complex has teamed up with eight brands, including Lancôme, Nespresso, and Chinese perfumer To Summer, to launch pop-up stores across its four zones. 

With art installations, pop-up stores, a Chinese New Year-themed Bay Market, water and light shows, and concerts, MixC Shenzhen Bay promises to be a festive, fun-filled destination for visitors of all ages.
