Crystal Dragon

Symbolizing power, strength, and good luck, an iconic flying Crystal Dragon glitters and sparkles over diners at Wing Lei. Composed of 90,000 stunning crystals and 2,400 individually-blown glass lights, this shimmering creation embodies Chinese traditions in an unconventional expression of dazzling jewels. Weighing more than 300 kg., the dragon's head is a single cast of glass – an extraordinarily difficult technical feat. Its intricately designed body is made up of 13 sections with more than 700 meters of stainless steel netting. It also features four cast-glass legs, 88 glass fins and a 30 kg. cast-glass tail. Chinese people once worshipped the dragon as bringing rain and good harvests, making it an auspicious symbol of protection and fortune. From the Han dynasty (206 BC – AD 220) onward, the dragon was adopted as a symbol for the emperor and became an emblem of Imperial power.
