Disneyland celebrates Chinese Lunar New Year with dynamic cultural activities
Decorated in red and gold to symbolize good fortune and happiness, the float features bright bunches of red firecrackers that hang together with golden tassels, and delicate red and gold lanterns come aglow for after-sunset performances.
During the procession, Mulan and her wisecracking dragon friend Mushu were surrounded by performers bringing cultural artistry and dance to life.
Disney characters, including Tigger, Mulan and Mushu, Mickey and Minnie, and the Three Little Pigs, all dressed in Chinese festive attire, and greeted visitors.
San Francisco-based musical group Melody of China performed a fusion of Chinese folk, classical and contemporary instrumentals.
During Disney's Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations, park visitors could enjoy traditional Asian fare, like Shrimp Fried Rice, Char Siu Pork Bao, and many others.
They are also invited to try Chinese arts and crafts, such as Chinese calligraphy, and dragon's pearl coloring craft.
