The 2025 Yuyuan Lantern Festival is absolutely stunning!
🎇 This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Yuyuan Lantern Festival, and it is also the first World Intangible Cultural Heritage Spring Festival Lantern Festival, making it truly special. With the theme "All Things Beautiful, All Beings Wonderful," the "Fantastic Yuyuan: Jungle Chapter" truly transports us into a magical world of mountains and jungles.🌳
🌼 Enter through Gate 2, "Mysterious Jungle, Gate of Life," and the first thing that catches your eye is the Tree of Life in the Golden Square. The insect lanterns on the tree are so lifelike, and you can even hear the sounds of insects and birds, making you feel like you're in a real jungle.🦋 Ninghui Road is breathtakingly beautiful, with vines surrounding you and countless colorful butterflies dancing, creating a sea of butterfly flowers. Walking through it, you truly feel like you're in a dream, just like Zhuangzi's dream of a butterfly. It's super dreamy.😍
🐍 The "Harmony of Heaven, Earth, and People, Golden Snake Brings Good Fortune" large main lantern group in the Central Square is incredibly impressive. The golden spirit snake coils around the mushroom jungle, cleverly blending with elements like little mushroom people, creating a moving picture that attracts many people to take photos.📸 The Nine-Bend Bridge has its own unique charm, with various exotic plants and animals resting among the vines. The sound of flowing water and the calls of creatures intertwine, as if telling the story of the jungle.🌊 Yuyuan Old Street showcases the 30-year history of the Yuyuan Lantern Festival, allowing us to experience the charm and heritage of Chinese lantern art.🎊
🕹️ During the lantern festival, there are many fun activities, such as cultural performances like "Mythical Beasts Celebrate Thousands of Lanterns," "Manman: Winged Birds," "Flag Raising and Drumming," and "Golden Snake Dance." The Wenchang Yushen NPC will also appear randomly, bringing us different surprises.🤩 There are also real-life NPCs transformed from mythical creatures like the spirit snake, qilin, deer, luan bird, boar, and butterfly from the Year of the Snake Lantern Festival, leading interactive experiences throughout the area. Additionally, there is the Yuyuan: Heavenly Blessings New Year Guide special event, allowing us to experience the strong New Year atmosphere while having fun.🧧
🎈 Oh, and the popular Yuyuan cultural and creative lanterns have been updated! The Ling Snake Secret Realm and Many Blessings and Wealth lanterns are super cute, with great meanings. They make for great photo props.😜
