Nine Dragons: World Showcase’s Overlooked Restaurant

Posted on by Andrew Rossi
One of the primary goals of World Showcase is deepening guests' understanding and appreciation of the countries they are visiting. World Showcase is a place to educate and entertain, somewhere guests can experience first-hand the cultures, histories, sights, and sounds of 11 different nations. As such, every aspect of these World Showcase pavilions helps to offer insight into their country's culture and people; their attractions, shops, and restaurants all have different stories to tell. With Nine Dragons this story starts with the restaurant's name. The name Nine Dragons is very fitting because both the number nine and dragons have special significance in Chinese culture. In China, dragons traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers such as control over water, rainfall, hurricanes, and floods. The dragon is also a symbol of power, strength, and good luck. Throughout the country's history, the Emperor of China has used the dragon as a symbol of his imperial power and strength.
