Lunar Lantern: The Roosters

The 2 Roosters engaged in a dancing fight symbolise their strength and courage in opposing the adversity of the coming year.

To highlight the Roosters’ beauty and confidence, vibrant colours feature throughout their feathers. The lanterns tower 8 metres in height, ensuring that these 2 magnificent creatures are the centre of attention.
