"Most people does not realize that our culture is strongly influenced by the nature - for example, Dance inluenced from animal movements, Traditional costumes such as harvest feast or Nine Emperor Gods for chinese fisherman, Heritage-like flowers in woven, paintings and engravings. At the same time, the event will pose as promotional tool for ecotourism in the country through performances, singing, lighting and sound." he said.

Citrawarna@Kuala Lumpur 2017 was taking the inspiration from the World Tourism Day's theme: "Sustainable Tourism - A Tool for Development", which was celebrated last month. It willbe a platform to deliver the message of importance of nature not only in the form of culture, but in arts and Malaysian heritage.

This year's Citrawarna featured a unique combination of dance theater elements, musicals and street parades while in 2015 and 2016, the concept presented were the theatrical combination of stage performance with street parade. Citrawarna always come up with a new, fresh and creative concept every year since 1999.

  27. "ZZ PLANT" is amazing! If you're familiar with the snake plant (which is super easy to maintain) this plant is exactly the same way. It does wonderful in lower light settings too! Which helps me because my office isn't the brightest place. It keeps growing and growing! It's my favourite plant, I definitely recommend it!
