At 4:45 p.m. EST, the Empire State Building's world-famous tower lights will be
lit red in a virtual lighting ceremony to coincide with the New York City
sunset. The ceremony will be available for playback on YouTube (
), Facebook (
), Weibo, and WeChat.
The building's iconic Fifth Avenue Lobby windows this year feature a festive
installation with artistic imagery and representations of this year's animal –
the tiger. Revered as heroic characters, tigers symbolize great strength amid
adversity. The animal is depicted in an array of colors and art styles among
diverse landscapes in a series of three scenes. The windows celebrate Chinese
culture and history with images in florals, white, and gold. The festive
display will remain in the lobby until Feb. 24.
"Our tower lighting and Fifth Avenue window displays are annual Lunar New Year
traditions at the Empire State Building, and we are happy to celebrate the
Chinese community in the US, in China, and all over the world," said Jean-Yves
Ghazi, president of the Empire State Building Observatory.
