Shanghai's best night view! Panlong Tiandi's Little Dragon Lantern Festival is breathtaking.

Who says you can only visit ancient Jiangnan towns during the day? Qingpu Panlong Tiandi is a cyberpunk-style spectacle! The best time to visit is after 5pm.👉🏻 🌉【Magical Twilight Hours】 ▫️Blue Hour: Bridges and flowing water reflect the glazed sky. ▫️A Thousand Lights: Golden rivers of light wind under the eaves and corridors. ▫️Hidden Spot: Capture the dragon pattern projection on the water surface from the covered bridge. 🐉【Dragon Year Exclusive!】 The artist-designed mechanical dragons are amazing! ◽️Blinking Silver Dragon coiled around a pillar—Center stage at the Cross Ferry. ◽️Illusory Dragon in the mist—at the Ancient Opera Stage Square. ◽️Glowing baby dragons hanging from the eaves—around the corner of Cheng's Ancestral Hall. 📸【Photography Tips】 1️⃣Bring a telephoto lens! Capture the depth of boats gliding through the lantern matrix. 2️⃣If wearing Hanfu, choose light colors for a stunning silhouette against the light and shadow. 3️⃣Contemporary art exhibitions in shop windows clash with Ming and Qing architecture. 🏮【Designer Shop Checklist】 ▪️New Chinese-style tea and coffee shop: Ink painting screens + moon lamps (holding bamboo tube milk tea is super photogenic). ▪️Glass workshop: The entire wall of broken glass reflects shimmering golden light spots. ▪️Sunset Study: Glowing dragon patterns spiral on the floating bookshelves. ✨Tips: ▫️Exit 3 of Metro Line 17 leads directly to the ancient town. ▫️After 7pm, take a hand-rowed boat through the sea of lights for an amazing experience. ▫️Photographers, remember to bring a tripod for long-exposure shots of the water mist. ~~~~~~~
