Lunar New Year at Universal Studios Hollywood

Cross spending the Lunar New Year with a bilingual Transformers villain off your bucket list: Universal Studios Hollywood headlines its Chinese New Year celebrations with a roving Megatron character who can speak to guests in both English and Mandarin—presumably he’s dropped his “peace through tyranny” motto for the holiday. In the lantern-adorned Universal Plaza, guests can pose for festive photos with Hello Kitty, Minions and Kung Fu Panda characters (including a pop-up Mr. Ping’s Noodle Shop).
