MGM Cotai's Golden Lion: A Fusion of Art and Culture

MGM Cotai's 'Golden Lion' is a signature art installation designed by director Zhang Yimou, inspired by his resident show 'Macau 2049.' This towering golden lion stands 11 meters tall, weighs 38 tons, and is composed of 3,988 gold bricks. It combines elements of ancient Chinese jade, Egyptian carvings, and pixel aesthetics, showcasing the artistic charm of East-West cultural fusion. Through data programming and control systems, the lion can perform physical flips and dynamic graphic changes, symbolizing strength and auspiciousness, making it the visual centerpiece of the Golden Lion Lobby. Additionally, MGM Cotai features several lion sculptures with unique characteristics. Visitors can enjoy the 'Macau 2049' show while taking photos with the lions in the lobby.
