Xiaorong Yang sets up lights at Rancho San Rafael Regional Park while a gargantuan azure spider towers over him. He’s an employee of Tianyu Arts and Culture Inc., based in the Sichuan province in China, where lantern-making techniques have been preserved for generations.
The setup was expected to take two weeks.
Dragon Lights Reno was scheduled to open Friday, Sept. 27, and run through Saturday, Nov. 30, at the Wilbur D. May Arboretum and Botanical Gardens in Rancho San Rafael.
