Dragons, Porcelain, Pagodas and Chinese Lanterns at Gilroy Gardens Lumination

Sometimes because of limited budget and physical location, it may not be feasible to travel to China. Lucky for us, it is possible to expose to Chinese Culture and art WITHOUT GOING TO CHINA.

From 2016 July to November, Gilroy Gardens in California are offering special admissions at night for the Lumination Festival apart from the regular day-time theme park admission. If porcelain art, dragons, Chinese masks, Chinese vases, colossal red Lanterns and Chinese performances could illuminate your day too, then you should not miss the special themed festival in Gilroy Gardens.

60,000 porcelain wares are used to build this dragon display. LED is attached too so it can be illuminated at night.

The featured porcelain dragon is around 54 meters, longer than a Boeing 757, which could carry 200+ passengers.
