The answer is... Yu Garden! The third time I visited the Yu Garden Lantern Festival, it was even more beautiful than before. I found that there were fewer people on the Zigzag Bridge during meal times. The view from the Huxin Pavilion on the Zigzag Bridge is amazing, perfect for panoramic shots. Four main gates, five main scenes I took so many photos that I ran out of space. The Zigzag Bridge was especially captivating. The mythical creatures from the Classic of Mountains and Seas were brought to life. All the IP characters were stunning. The "working group" characters were adorable and lively. The "singing and dancing group" characters were handsome and cool. Although there seemed to be a lot at first glance, they were worth admiring repeatedly. The third floor of Huabao Building also has a Moonlight Treasure Box. It's not just lanterns - the Yu Garden Lantern Festival's 30th anniversary and Chinese Lantern Art Exhibition. The dazzling ancient lantern treasures were eye-opening. 🤩 You can also take random photos with cosplayers. 📸 I loved the butterfly fairy. 🧚‍♀️🦋🧚 The central square and the four main gates were still impressive. I boldly predict that a billion people will come to the Yu Garden Lantern Festival this weekend!

#magicalxmastrip "The Yuyuan Garden Festival is about showcasing our brilliant traditional Chinese culture. It used to be a folk activity in Shanghai, but now it is representing the Chinese lantern culture and its crafts, which we hope the young generation can know better about with more cultural confidence," said Hu Junjie, vice-president of Yuyuan Inc. The annual Yuyuan Garden Lantern Festival is set to light up Shanghai on New Year's Day to mark the upcoming Year of the Snake. The 42-day lantern festival at Yuyuan Garden features a diverse collection of lanterns, especially snake-shaped lantern installations to mark 2025's zodiac creature. Decorated with various other elements as well, these installations aim to present a diverse and vibrant scene. The event runs until February 12, 2025.

Yuyuan Lantern Festival that I visit every year! It's a little different this year❕ There are pros and cons and strategies - let me list a few for you❗️ Must-see, must-see❕ ❗️ [Ticket Required🎫] (You don't need it at this time of year in previous years! This year, you need to buy a ticket so early! 50 for adults! But❕ if you buy it one day in advance on a certain dp, it's only 30❕❕❕ ✔️ The good thing is, there are a lot of people at the entrance market - but because you need to buy a ticket🎫, there are not many people inside - it's very friendly to take photos of lanterns - and the Nine-turn Bridge, which you have to queue for a long time in previous years, is not crowded this year - I finally had a good time walking, watching, and taking photos! ❗️ [No Flash📸] This is ridiculous! The official website invited many photographers and bloggers to take photos! They all use flash! So, if ordinary people want to take photos, they will definitely use flash! But it's not allowed! ✔️ The good thing is, the security guards we met were very friendly. We didn't know at first, and they waited for us to finish taking photos before telling us that we couldn't use flash, and we paid attention later. We understood each other! ❗️ [The second floor is closed!] We wanted to go to the second floor to take photos, but we found that it was blocked! Later, we went to the third-floor restaurant and took photos in the corridor outside the restaurant! But I don't know if the restaurant will allow us to take photos later. ❗️ [Remember to get free props!🧧] We entered from Gate 5 - as soon as we entered, there was a place to get a blessing pendant! You can take one - it has a good meaning, and it looks good when you take photos with it later!

Although today there are already quite a few people on the Nine-Turn Bridge. During the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival, there is an admission fee, and it's also very crowded. On New Year's Eve, the garden usually closes at 18:00.

Entering from the four main lantern groups themed 'Dragon Roaming the Four Seas', visitors can reach different fantasy fairylands. On the Golden Square, it feels like entering a fantastical and magnificent underwater fairyland paradise, where the immersive scenes create an ethereal and elusive sensation of 'mirage'. The Penglai Fairy Mountain is suspended upside down, with the Tree of Beads standing tall in the center, its branches blooming like colorful corals, adorned with magical fruits resembling pearls and jade. The 'Three Penglai Fairies' - the Fortune Fish, Prosperity Fish, and Longevity Fish - are lively and dynamic. As visitors wander through, they move like a dragon, symbolizing 'Hidden Dragon'. The central square remains the zodiac's main stage. A giant yellow dragon, in the pose of 'Dragon Leaping Over the Sea', soars into the sky, embracing a blue sphere lifted by the waves, guarding the growth of all things. Among the surging waves, dragons of China with various forms leap and dance together. At the head of the Nine-Turn Bridge, the Fish Dragon Princess sways gracefully, leading people into the deep-sea world of 'fantastic confusion and brilliant starry sky'.

Recently, above Ninghui Road in Shanghai's Yu Garden, a colorful array of fish gathered into the form of a dragon dance, weaving between the flying eaves and arches, reminiscent of Xin Qiji's 'Green Jade Case on Lantern Festival' where 'the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot shifts, and fish and dragons dance all night'. The Lantern Festival runs from mid to late January 2024 to the end of February, lasting for more than 40 days. Here are a few must-visit spots: one is in front of the Nine Lions Tower, another is in front of the Ninghui Pavilion, with the main event on both sides of the Nine-Turn Bridge, and the rest are scattered passageways and corridors. This year's festival, like a huge aquarium, is filled with fish everywhere, and there's a queue at the Nine-Turn Bridge area, which is quite spectacular. The ticket for the lantern festival is 80 yuan, and I bought a lantern joint ticket for 138 yuan, which came with a lantern that I had to redeem at the 'Cong Cong Shop'. With this lantern, I walked through Yu Garden, Fangbang Middle Road, and the Shiliupu Wharf. There were only a few street lights on at Shiliupu Wharf, it was dark and difficult to see, but carrying the lantern made going up and down the stairs feel very safe.

I'm in Yuyuan Garden, almost squeezed on the Nine-Turn Bridge But it's really worth it!!! I've been in Shanghai for more than ten years Finally plucked up the courage to go to the City God Temple to see a lantern festival Found that many tour groups also come to check in No wonder there are so many people I didn't want to go to the City God Temple before, it's cold and crowded But always being swiped by the "Spirit Dragon" It's really too beautiful and too fairy Who designed this??? It's really growing on my aesthetic point, okay! The entire City God Temple actually has 5 large lantern groups The four gate heads and five scenes are super good for taking pictures and checking in Except for the Nine-Turn Bridge, you need to queue up, you don't need to queue up for the others The Spirit Dragon lantern group is the most amazing on the Nine-Turn Bridge It's really beautiful, vivid, and unparalleled The tower matches the pavilions of the City God Temple It's like wandering in the dreamland of the palaces in the sky...
