Radiant Nature presented by Reliant

Inspired by traditions celebrating the Lunar New Year as well as regional plant and animal life, Radiant Nature features more than 50 Chinese lantern installations throughout the mile-long path, each of which is perfect for creating eye-popping Instagram and TikTok content. Set among the Botanic Garden’s verdant and diverse natural exhibits and featuring a complementary soundtrack, Radiant Nature creates a truly serene and almost otherworldly guest experience that is not to be missed.

This year’s exhibit features an all-new collection of lantern installations, including a massive iridescent dome that guests can walk inside, where they’ll find a larger-than-life color-changing, moving lotus flower. The lotus is a symbol of purity, honesty, goodness and rebirth in Chinese culture, making it a perfect fit for a celebration of the holidays and the New Year.

Other stunning new attractions this year include a life-sized Chinese palace, a canopy tunnel constructed of traditional oil paper umbrellas, pandas in a field of bamboo with a waterfall, interactive morning glories and sunflowers, and an interactive dragon that guests can manipulate to make it “dance.”
