Yuyuan Lantern Festival shines around the world
Miraculous 2025 Yuyuan Lantern Festival!
As a national intangible cultural heritage, the Yu Garden Lantern Festival has become a landmark cultural event in Shanghai since its launch in 1995. In 2025, the Yu Garden Lantern Festival will be "30 years old". Over the past 30 years, the Yu Garden Lantern Festival has been rooted in the core of Shanghai's old town and the Greater Yu Garden area, the root of Shanghai culture. It is a lantern festival that has grown with Shanghai. From different perspectives such as lantern production, intangible cultural heritage, technological innovation, and humanistic stories, it tells the world the Chinese story of oriental life aesthetics. It has developed from a traditional folk lantern festival to an IP with great cultural vitality, creating a national and global Yu Garden Lantern Festival. More than Yu Garden, more than lanterns, more than Shanghai.
Friendly lights
Continuation of the Mysterious Jungle Realm of Shanhaiqiyuji
The 2025 Yu Garden Lantern Festival will continue the story of "The Wonderful Records of Mountains and Seas", turning from the perspective of grand narrative into the ordinary world, telling the stories of every ordinary person who is like every tiny light in the lights, with the theme of "everything is beautiful, all beings are wonderful", and unfolding the narrative around the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" chapter of Conglin, showing the magical scene of Conglin's all-encompassing and vibrant life. Everyone in the world has their own value and meaning of existence. Every lamp and every device is a tribute and praise to the weak life, and finally converges into a "The Wonderful Records of Mountains and Seas" of "harmonious coexistence and beauty".
Wonderful mountains and seas
Show the beauty of all things and live up to the youth
Exploring the Gloriousness of Mother Nature
A Chinese romantic classic
The Lantern Festival is centered around four major gates of travel and five major theme scenes, brilliantly presenting the harmony and beauty of the zodiac snake and the hundreds of beasts among the mountains, seas, and forests, the universal values of coexistence, equality of all things, and the unity of man and nature, showing a beautiful and romantic journey of oriental life aesthetics.

Through workshops, popular science games and other forms of interaction, we implement the active actions of environmental protection China and Shanghai spirit, and the social responsibility that Yuyuan Lantern Festival takes on.

Come here for the first time was such a unique experience! The temple&rsquo;s atmosphere was lively yet serene, with the smell of incense and the sound of prayers filling the air. The traditional architecture and detailed decorations were breathtaking, and the bustling nearby market made it even more vibrant. It felt like a perfect blend of culture, history, and local life!

It&#39;s a pretty good buffet. You don&#39;t have to fight for the food. People keep refilling the dishes. You can enjoy the scenery after eating. The scenery is also good for taking pictures. It&#39;s a bit hot in the summer, but it&#39;s quite comfortable to blow the wind. It&#39;s worth sitting there once. It&#39;s very unique and good to see.

Although the price is high, it is really worth staying here. In Disney, which is always crowded, we did not buy a fast pass. We chose the Disney Hotel with a half-day ticket and early access service, which is comparable to the fast pass. The key point is that it is comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable. We have used all the projects and played the hot pursuit twice.

Great! Cost-effective! The store is intimate, close to Disney, special car transfer, close to the subway, and the traffic is very convenient. The facilities in the room are smart and complete, and there are many room types. It is really a good choice to bring a baby to Disney.
