Chongqing, China - 15 May 2026 – In celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival, Niccolo Chongqing continues its stylish and elegant legacy with two exceptional, art-inspired rice dumpling gift boxes: ‘The White Clouds’ and ‘The Elegant Clouds’. Inspired by the hotel’s extensive art displays, these gift boxes offer authentic, traditional Dragon Boat Festival delicacies during the festive season.
‘The White Clouds’ takes inspiration from the traditional shape of rice dumplings, with its primary colour taken from ‘Cloud Dancer’, Pantone’s 2026 Colour of the Year, complemented by subtle green accents. The box features a bold triangular silhouette, adorned with winding printed lines that convey a sense of rhythm and tranquillity, creating a fashionable piece. Priced at ¥298, each box contains six rice dumplings in six distinct flavours — Bamboo Leaf Plain; Ejiao, Sesame and Walnut; Black Glutinous Rice with Aged Tangerine Peel and Red Bean Paste; Spicy Beef; Chestnut and Pork; and Abalone — along with six packs of T9 tea.
The design of ‘The Elegant Clouds’ is inspired by Niccolo Chongqing’s iconic art installation, ‘Colourful Clouds’. Its flowing, layered and refined style is reinterpreted as delicate embossing on the gift box, evoking the silhouette of clouds on a creamy white background. The elegant gold brand logo and matching leather handle reflect the brand’s luxurious style in every detail. The overall design interprets traditional festivities through modern aesthetics, presenting a Dragon Boat Festival gift that captures the imagery of clouds and the spirit of Chongqing. ‘The Elegant Clouds’ gift box is priced at ¥438 and contains eight rice dumplings in eight distinct flavours — Bamboo Leaf Plain; Ejiao, Sesame and Walnut; Black Glutinous Rice with Aged Tangerine Peel and Red Bean Paste; Spicy Beef; Chestnut and Pork; Abalone; Red Bean and Poria; and Salted Egg Yolk and Pork — along with eight packs of T9 tea.
