Snake Year Feast｜Yuyuan Lantern Festival

It’s spring again, and the Yu Garden Lantern Festival is unique every year, especially in the Year of the Snake, which has a unique charm. As soon as you step into Yu Garden, it feels like you have fallen into a colorful dreamland. The carefully crafted lanterns with the theme of the Year of the Snake appear vividly before our eyes. Look, some snake lanterns are winding and the scales on their bodies are carved in great detail. They are shining brightly under the light, as if they are about to take off, carrying auspicious air through this quaint garden. Walking along the path, you will see all kinds of lanterns competing with each other in beauty. There are cute little snake lanterns clustered together, as if they are playing, and their lively appearance makes people smile knowingly; there are also majestic giant snake lanterns perched high up, overlooking the bustling crowd, adding a mysterious and solemn atmosphere to the entire lantern festival. The colorful lights are interwoven in the pavilions and towers of Yu Garden, outlining a beautiful picture that perfectly blends traditional charm with the unique elements of the Year of the Snake. ——Basic Guide—— [Ticket price] 80 yuan/person [Opening hours] 16:00-22:00 [Detailed address] No. 168 Fuyou Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai.

It was a bit cold at night, so please keep warm. [2] Some stores have great second-floor panoramic views. Those who go there specifically to take photos can go half an hour before closing time. [3] Although the lights on the Nine-Curve Bridge are beautiful, there are too many people there, so try to walk to the side. 【4】Taking the subway is the most convenient way, as driving is subject to traffic control. #Lantern Festival #Check in Old Shanghai Style
