Welcoming the Year of the Snake at Padma Hotel Semarang Welcoming the Year of the Snake at Padma Hotel Semarang

Dating back centuries to migration and trade, Chinese culture has become an integral part of Indonesia, influencing its cuisine and adding vibrant colours to the nation’s rich festivals. One of the most celebrated traditions is Chinese New Year, or what we call Imlek in Indonesia. Across major cities like Jakarta, Semarang, and Medan, streets come alive with colourful lanterns and traditional red decorations, symbolising luck and prosperity. Families, especially Chinese-Indonesians, gather for special meals, with Yu Sheng (prosperity toss) as a must-have dish.A cherished part of the celebration is the tradition of giving Angpao, red envelopes filled with money, symbolising blessings, and good fortune for the year ahead. These are typically given by married couples or elders to children and younger family members, fostering a spirit of sharing. The festivities are made even more lively with Barongsai (lion dance) performances, also believed to bring luck, adding to the joyful atmosphere of Imlek in Indonesia.Recognised as a national holiday, Imlek has become a celebration for everyone, inviting all to indulge in the festive atmosphere and Chinese New Year delicacies. This year, Padma Hotels’ destination in Central Java, Padma Hotel Semarang is ready to welcome the Year of the Snake with two exciting programmes. The first is a lavish celebration in the iconic Pandanaran Grand Ballroom, renowned for its 10-metre-high ceiling and capacity to host up to 4,000 guests.
