Los Angeles turned into a glowing wonderland this week as the 2024 Lantern Art Expo lit up Santa Anita Park with over 60 jaw-dropping displays! 🎉 From ancient Tang Dynasty palaces to neon-lit dinosaurs, the event blends traditional Chinese craftsmanship with playful modern twists—think zodiac animals partying with Halloween pumpkins. 🦕🎃
Visitors can snack on dumplings while watching acrobats spin through the air, or snap selfies under lanterns shaped like Christmas trees and golden dragons. 🥟📸 The month-long expo (Oct. 18-Nov. 17) offers a Insta-worthy crash course in Chinese culture—no passport required. As one attendee joked: ‘It’s like Disneyland met a history textbook!’
Pro tip: Night owls get the best views—the lanterns shine brightest after sunset! 🌙
