Photo taking in Chinatown

Santa Claus, typically associated with Western Christmas celebrations,
appears here as part of a Chinese New Year exhibit.
It combines humor, cultural crossover, and the simple pleasure of
photo taking with something oversized and
imaginative—an image that feels cheerful, contemporary, and
full of holiday spirit reinterpreted for Chinese New Year.

Indeed a cheeful scene with the smiling Santa. It seems that his reindeer must be on vacation.

Santa Claus climbing a ladder? The designer of this balloon might have been inspired by one of the Chinese New Year greetings 步步高升 (Rising higher step by step). Two young ladies were happy to take pictures with Santa when no one else was around. You're the one who got the full length of all 3 from the best angle. We can expect to see many more great shots like this during this holiday. Thank you, Fong ! ~VVVVV~

The compositional elegance is the first thing that jumped to me in the eyes. The colors are those magic of Chinatown, incredible light, so dense that one could touch! A narrative shot and I love it!
