LOS ANGELES: A 4.6m-tall rabbit showered by hundreds of lucky lanterns and whimsical hanging orbs sits on top of a garden full of gold coins and ingots at the centre of South Coast Plaza, signifying the arrival of the Chinese Lunar New Year, good luck and prosperity.

Located in Costa Mesa in Southern California, the largest shopping mall on the West Coast of the United States has created a stunning display of Chinese tradition and culture to embrace the Year of the Rabbit, featuring lion dances, exhibits, craft activities and special foods designed to honour Chinese and other Asian traditions.
