Chinese Lantern Festival

As the sun sets, the Fair Park in Dallas, Texas transforms into a luminescent spectacle where 22 lanterns weave a rainbow of light around the fairgrounds. Visitors enter through an illuminated red tunnel and explore each festival area, where onsite artists weave palm leaves into small dragons. At the center, a lagoon twinkles with blossoming lotus flowers, green frogs, and a recreation of the Statue of Liberty, which adds an American touch to the traditional Chinese festivities. Elsewhere, three stories of reds, greens, and blues light up The Temple of Heaven lantern and a shimmering green dragon lantern made up of more than 15,000 hand-tied bowls, spoons, and wine cups stretches on for 330 feet.

The story of these illuminated marvels begins in Sichuan, China, where more than 100 artisans and technicians craft small pieces and raw materials before shipping them to Dallas. More than three dozen artists transform the exported cloth, glass, and porcelain into the lanterns that inhabit the festival. According to The Dallas Morning News, some of these fixtures were so large that they were moved to the lagoon using helicopters or telekinetic landscapers.

The Groupon Guide to: Hotel Amenities

Most people choose a hotel based on what amenities it offers and how many of its TV channels show a live feed of the local city council. Here are some of the amenities that you might be lucky enough to experience on your next trip:

  • Pool full of people who can swim but not as well as you
  • Room service delivered directly to the hotel restaurant
  • Dogs that will keep your sheets warm when you're not using the bed and special electric jackets that will keep the dogs warm
  • Spa where they at least brush your teeth for you instead of just squishing your muscles
  • Unlimited wigs, so you can really feel like you're escaping
  • Rooms where families can go to yell at each other
  • An in-room safe for keeping items so valuable you would never trust yourself to touch them
  • Free wireless Internet that only goes to the hotel's email provider, Hotelwhispers.net
