This picture was taken at South Coast Plaza, an upscale shopping center here in Orange County as part of a grand display in celebration of the upcoming Lunar New Year on February 1, 2022.
According to Chinese astrology, it will be the year of the tiger.
If you don't already know, each year has an animal sign in the Chinese zodiac, which has a 12 year cycle. So, if you were born in 1974 or 1986, you are some kind of a tigerrr!😀
Orange County, California has a considerable population of Chinese and Vietnamese communities who celebrate the occasion with festivities. The latter call it Tet Festival. Visitors are welcome to enjoy the cultural performances, live entertainment, fireworks ceremony, a variety of Vietnamese cuisine, (Oh, I love this part), and lion dances. Sounds fun to you?
