Revive classic traditions and welcome the Year of the Tiger at South Garden, where vintage New Year vibes await.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, the festive atmosphere grows stronger. Beyond reuniting with family around the reunion dinner, would you also like to soak in the nostalgic charm of celebrating the New Year in a Fujian-style building? The One South Garden Humanities Leisure Inn in Hsinchu County’s Xinzhuang has specially launched the “Prosperity of the Tiger, Joys of Life” Lunar New Year package. Amidst stunning pavilions, terraces, corridors, and bridges that look like scenes from an ancient painting, you can experience a unique retro New Year vibe.

From February 13 to February 21 during the Lunar New Year, The One South Garden will transform into a paradise of festive leisure. The garden tour features “Handcrafts & Real Joy” with the “Prosperity of the Tiger Zodiac Exhibition & Painted Leather Tiger DIY Experience.” In addition to displaying hundreds of tiger-themed crafts and collectibles for the occasion, master craftsman Sun Yeqi will lead visitors in a DIY leather tiger painting activity—once painted, the tigers make sounds, adding warmth and joy to family fun.

Another highlight is “Garden Appreciation & Seasonal Joy,” reviving the traditional Lunar New Year custom of spring outings. Blessed with an auspicious location, The One South Garden’s guided tours will take visitors to admire the garden scenery at propitious times and spots, sharing insights about its architecture rich in symbolic meaning. Elegant ancient ladies will also stroll the grounds handing out New Year sweets, praying for fortune and peace during the Tiger Year outings.

For accommodations, the Lunar New Year package offers “Night Stay & Ten Joys.” Guests staying from New Year’s Eve to the second day of the Lunar New Year can gather each night at 10:00 PM in the elegantly themed “Prosperity Hall” or “Ten Seasons Lounge” to sip on premium Bollinger champagne or sparkling wine. They can ring in the New Year with family, friends, and fellow travelers, drinking festive wine and praying for health and safety in the year ahead. Guests arriving from the third day onward can enjoy the “Handcraft & Ten Joys” Spring Festival couplet printing activity. Every morning at 10:00 AM, unleash creativity to print your own couplets, appreciate refined culture, and bring home a bundle of blessings.

The One South Garden operates as usual throughout the Lunar New Year holiday. The entire property, decorated with Chinese-style seating and red tulle drapes, exudes an old-world Chinese charm. Visitors can plan a two-day-one-night or one-day New Year garden tour to deeply explore this cultural haven and the quaint Hakka town of Xinzhuang.
