Year of the Rabbit Centerpiece in Jewel Court


The Rabbit is the fourth animal represented in the twelve-year Chinese zodiac cycle and is characterized by creativity, compassion and sensitivity. The peaceful rabbit is sitting on top of a garden showered with gold coins and ingots signifying the arrival of Spring and fortune. The centerpiece is surrounded by breathtaking LED screens presenting a mesmerizing 360° view of custom 3D animation featuring the friendly and playful Rabbit. The multi-level display includes eight lucky lanterns and eight whimsical hanging orbs along with hundreds of colorful lanterns, all bringing luck and prosperity. Stroll down towards Carousel Court to find more rabbits jumping across the lucky fountain in celebration of the Year of the Water Rabbit, or take a ride on the carousel featuring the zodiac animal!

The Exhibit will be closed for a Private Event on January 28 and reopen January 29
