Crowded at Yuyuan Garden? Come to Guyi Garden for lanterns (fewer people, plenty of lanterns)

Another Shanghai Lunar New Year series Yuyuan Garden is a bit of a mess this year, not only is there no free time, but it also closes early in the afternoon. I didn't want to be in a crowd, but I wanted to see the beautiful lanterns, so I went to Guyi Garden in the suburbs, and the CNY 12 ticket 🎫 gave me a half-day of fun. 💡 The lanterns in Guyi Garden are actually quite scattered, but there are a lot of them, and because the garden is big, they are scattered in every corner. 📷 The ancient buildings in Guyi Garden go well with the lanterns, so don't miss it if you want to take some ancient-style photos. ⌚️ I suggest you enter the garden around dusk 🌆, the lights are usually turned on around 5:30 pm, and the sky is not too dark before 6:30 pm, which is a good time to take photos. 🗺️ If you have time after the visit, you can also visit the nearby Nanxiang Old Street, which has a good festive atmosphere. ⚠️ If you drive there, the parking lot 🅿️ at Guyi Garden is very small and not cheap, so I suggest you park at the shopping mall across the street and walk back. Okay, that's all for today, follow me and let's explore new 🆕 destinations together!
