My daughter and I manage to watch the “Storyland: Cosplay Meet & Greet” where cosplayers entertained us with their lovely costumes and dance.. the kids definitely had a fun time getting to meet the Asian or Malaysian version of Belle, Beast, Snow White, Sailor Moon, Harley Quinn, Joker and so on… And posed with them…

The “Street Beats: Brass Ensemble” promises fun in music—street musicians playing drums, trombones, and trumpets, among others. Kind of reminded me of a certain band at the Universal Studios Osaka as well… But definitely not lacking..

Do take the opportunity to celebrate your holidays with your kids with pomp and gaiety at Boulevard’s Parade at the Open Car Park of Genting Grand.

We were there to watch the Soul of Shaolin theatrical show.. being among the oldest institutionalised styles of Chinese martial arts, Shaolin kung fu is second to none in terms of beauty and artistry.

So do take the opportunity to watch this magnificent martial art form in its glory at Resorts World Genting entitled Soul of Shaolin: Hui Guang’s Story that will be on from 28 May to 26 June 2017.

It is a critically acclaimed show that earned a nomination at the 63rd Tony Awards in 2009, and has been held more than 500 performances worldwide in such countries as the US, Australia, Italy, Norway, India, Korea, Turkey, Macau, Hong Kong, and Turkey. When it opened at Marquis Theater on Broadway in January 2009, all its seven performances were sold out—and Jan 15 was promptly proclaimed China on Broadway Day by New York City.

Soul of Shaolin: Hui Guang’s Story will be held at Genting International Showroom at 9pm or 4pm*, from 28 May to 26 June 2017. There will be two shows—at 4pm and 9pm—on 24 June. A total of 22 shows are scheduled, with each screening lasting 90 minutes (with 10 minutes intermission).

Billed as China’s key cultural export project by China’s Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Commerce, the State Administration of Radio, Film & Television, and the General Administration of Press and Publication, the event is considered to be “the Best of China”.

Soul of Shaolin: Hui Guang’s Story is touching tale of the life of a Shaolin monk. The tale begins with a woman who is forced to abandon her son when she finds herself harassed and chased by some bandits. The woman hid her baby among tall grass before jumping off a cliff in her effort to evade capture.

The child is later found by Na Luo, a Shaolin kung fu monk, who also picks up a piece of broken jade he finds near the former.

Years go by, and the child, named Hui Guang, grows strong and healthy—raised and taught by Na Luo and also Miao Xing, the abbot of Shaolin Temple.

When he learns about his past, Hui Guang gets drunk and ends up provoking other monks. He is then punished by Miao Xing who places him in a cave known as Bodhidharma. As it turns out, Hui Guang learns about being a paragon of virtue—that it is the real soul of Shaolin.
