Overview

When the festive season hit last year, Brisbane Quarter lit up in celebration. Now that lunar new year is approaching, the inner-city precinct is doing the same. You won't miss the CBD spot's glowing tribute to the year of the tiger, all courtesy of a vibrant red and gold LED installation. But that's not all that the place has to offer.

As well as checking out the nightly light show, you can wander through a cherry tree installation on Podium 1 — where you'll find cherry blossoms, red lanterns and red envelopes, with the latter symbolising good fortune to start off your lunar new year with the best possible luck. At 12.30pm and 6.30pm on Monday, January 31, there'll be lion dances as well.

And, with Brisbane Phoenix located at Brisbane Quarter, you can tuck into a feast as well. That part isn't free — or cheap, as you'll need at least six people for the $888 option — but we're sure that the restaurant's garlic king prawns, braised lobster, steamed coral trout, sauteed scallops and cultural cookies will tempt you between Monday, January 31–Sunday, February 6 anyway.

On Monday, January 31 only, you can also tuck into a number of the above dishes — and a heap of others — via an a la carte menu that starts at $28.
