Part 5/7:
The festival does not solely focus on lantern displays; the zoo's exhibits remain a highlight. As visitors moved through the grounds, some paused to observe real animals like sea turtles, giraffes, and rhinos. The juxtaposition of illuminated lanterns with live wildlife added depth to the experience, with many passing comments about how the event rivaled Disney’s Animal Kingdom in spectacle.
The aquarium section showcased mesmerizing sea creatures, with giant jellyfish light displays and mantis shrimp drawing particular admiration. The inclusion of water features and reflective surfaces enhanced the visual appeal, especially with the rain creating natural reflections of the glowing lanterns.
