Discovery Bay Winter Wonderland: A Dreamy Trip to Italy
This festive season, Discovery Bay warmly invites you on a magical journey to Italy, adorned with breath-taking decorations that capture the essence of the country’s legendary architectural wonders. Experience the transformation of the DB North Tower, which mirrors the grandeur of the Basilica Santa Maria della Salute. Drawing inspiration from its exquisite Baroque style, the decorations highlight the iconic dome of the Salute, a defining feature of the Venetian skyline. In the foreground, a charming gondola glides gracefully on a simulated Canal Grande. The fusion of the Salute's dome and the canal-themed decor creates a captivating Venetian ambiance, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the romance and beauty of Venice right here at Discovery Bay.
At DB Plaza, visitors will be greeted by a stunning recreation of Rome's iconic Colosseum, elegantly illuminated at the entrance. At the heart of this installation stands a majestic five-meter-tall Christmas tree, resplendent with glittering ornaments and shimmering lights. This vibrant tableau melds the majesty of ancient Rome with the joyous spirit of the holiday season.
To elevate the festive atmosphere, DB North Plaza and DB Plaza, along with their promenades, will be beautifully illuminated with festive lighting, casting a spellbinding radiance that shimmers with a celestial quality. Every evening, the plaza will come alive with dazzling light projections, offering the perfect backdrop for creating unforgettable moments with loved ones amidst the enchanting Italian-inspired decorations.
