Dragons aren’t just for legends anymore! 🐲 San Diego Zoo Safari Park unleashed a vibrant two-day Lunar New Year bash this weekend, blending Chinese cultural traditions with wildlife wonder. The event opened with a ceremony hosted by park CEO Paul Baribault and attended by Chinese Consul General Guo Shaochun, symbolizing cross-cultural goodwill.
Visitors enjoyed lion dances, calligraphy workshops, and themed animal encounters—because who wouldn’t want to see a tiger strut its stuff during the Year of the Dragon? 🔥 The celebration also spotlighted conservation efforts, tying ancient zodiac symbolism to modern eco-awareness.
🌏 For the Asian diaspora and culture-curious explorers, this fusion of heritage and habitat offered a fresh way to connect with Lunar New Year vibes—no passport required. As one attendee put it: ‘It’s like CNY meets Planet Earth!’
