A shopping mall in Feixi, Anhui Province, has unleashed a jaw-dropping spectacle: a multi-story balloon loong (dragon) twisting through its atrium like a mythical guardian. 🛍️🔥 The fiery-red installation, part of China's Lunar New Year decorations, is drawing crowds eager to snap selfies beneath its swirling tail.
With the Year of the Loong starting February 10, such creative displays are popping up nationwide. Dragons symbolize power, luck, and prosperity in Chinese culture – and this one's clearly working overtime to spread festive vibes. 🧧 \"It feels like the dragon is dancing right above us,\" said local resident Lin Wei, 24. \"My little cousins think it'll come alive at night!\"
The Feixi mall plans to keep the loong up through the 15-day Spring Festival period. Pro tip for travelers? Anhui's blending tradition with Insta-worthy art – perfect for your #CulturalWanderlust feed. 📸
