Dreams Take Flight: Resorts World Genting Is Taking CNY To New Heights

CNY In The Sky returns with free concerts, RM1.8 million worth of prizes, and a new face in the family.

At Resorts World Genting (RWG), we don’t just host celebrations; we craft landmarks in time. This year, as we usher in the Year of the Horse, our annual CNY In The Sky event is back, better than ever.

For the 15 days of CNY, we aren’t just decorating our halls; we are pulling out every stop to ensure that the celebration 6,000 feet above sea level is the most vibrant, prosperous, and memorable one for all of our guests.

A New Icon for a New Era: The Debut of Tian Ma

To lead our charge into the Year of the Horse, we are proud to introduce Tian Ma, our “Heavenly Horse.” As the newest member of the Genting’s Highland Heroes family, Tian Ma is more than a mascot; he is a guardian who ushers in fortune.

You will see his golden silhouette across the peak, from the breathtaking Whirl of Fortune installation in SkyAvenue to the enchanting Way of Light. We’ve invested in making Tian Ma a central part of the guest experience, offering exclusive limited-edition plush toys and premium collectables for our Genting Rewards members.

Tian Ma is our first attempt at creating an original character for the Chinese New Year and a plushie of our own. To ensure we give our little horse the best start, we’ve invested heavily in an elaborate rollout that includes a CNY music video, an immersive movie at the newly launched Immersive Studio, collectable merchandise, and lots of media assets for social and advertising.

We believe tradition should be felt, not just seen. That is why we have transformed the Genting SkyWorlds Immersive Studio—officially recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records as the “Highest Altitude Immersive Attraction”—into a cinematic sanctuary.

Our specially commissioned CNY immersive film isn’t a simple screening; it is a multi-sensory odyssey. Utilising state-of-the-art LED technology, we transport our guests into a celestial realm where the story of the Horse comes to life. It is our way of showing that we’re redefining the future of entertainment with unique storytelling that leaves people with an unforgettable experience.

The CNY music video is also a first for us which includes an original song that serves to introduce Tian Ma’s origin story and an aspirational tale of reaching for your dreams. At the time of writing, the song Dreams Take Flight 天马腾云 飞越想象 has racked up over 500,000 views on YouTube, and 2.6 million views on Facebook.

“For us, Tian Ma represents more than just another mascot. It’s our opportunity to make a connection with our customers through storytelling,” says Spencer Lee, EVP of Sales, Marketing, and Public Relations at Genting Malaysia.

“In the music video, Tian Ma is seeking new experiences and adventures, through a chance encounter with a young boy, his wish comes true as he spends a magical day at our resort, experiencing it through fresh eyes, as many of us Malaysians have at one point of our lives.

“We want to bring back that same feeling of wonder and excitement to our guests and in the story, Tian Ma is like a reflection of many of our guests who come here to Resorts World Genting, looking to be swept off their feet. 

“The best part? Guests can bring home Tian Ma to bring a reminder of the experiences they’ve had back home while they plan their next visit. Expect to see more of Tian Ma this year as we continue to create content with our lucky little horse.”

The music video was ideated by Resorts World Genting’s appointed media agency, Ampersand Advisory, for the debut of Tian Ma. The media agency worked in close collaboration with Resorts World Genting on the storyline, talent casting, and the creation of this heartwarming production.

Tian Ma joins Genting’s Highland Heroes roster of characters who themselves have storied histories as characters dating back to the 90s. Tabby the Tiger, Allie the Elephant, Joe the Orangutan, Benny the Entertainer, Callie the Dragon, and Geno the Dinosaur also appear in SkyTap, an original game that allows Genting Rewards members to win discounts on F&B and rooms.

Culinary Opulence Without Compromise

We know that the heart of CNY lies in the reunion dinner. To honour this, our culinary teams have designed a portfolio of dining experiences that set a new gold standard for the region.

At the Genting International Convention Centre (GICC), we are hosting massive, pork-free banquet reunions. We’ve curated 8-course menus featuring premium ingredients like abalone and smoked salmon Yee Sang, bundled with luxury stays to ensure the celebration is as seamless as it is delicious.

 From the legendary Cantonese mastery at Genting Palace to the chic, high-energy atmosphere of FUHU, we have ensured that every “Lou Sang” moment is a world-class event. Our Yee Sang platters range from vegetarian friendly fare at RM98 to luxurious abalone at RM238.

Finally, our Flower Market at SkyAvenue offers our signature Flavours of Genting treats like pineapple and durian tarts, allowing guests to take a piece of our mountain-top hospitality home to their loved ones. There will also be an outdoor market at the fan-favourite Gohtong Way.

Festive Celebrations For All

This year, the mountain will echo with the pulse of prosperity. We have curated a non-stop entertainment schedule designed to dazzle every generation:
