Just got back from Yuyuan Garden! The Chinese aesthetic is so strong

Gotta highly recommend this winter's most stunning 3-minute show—not just ordinary lights, but the entire ancient architectural complex "acting in a movie"! ⏰ Starts promptly every night on the half hour (from 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM, each show lasts 3 minutes) 💡 Best viewing areas for the light show: Ninghui Road, Nine-turn Bridge Square, Central Square 👉 Suggest arriving 5 minutes early As the lights dim, drumbeats rise from all around, and the Chinese-style buildings seem to come alive. Colored lights dance along the eaves and corridor pillars. The atmosphere instantly gives you goosebumps! Then the scene changes, flute and yangqin music play, and the lighting becomes especially gentle, with pale blue-white light like frost on a winter morning slowly flowing over white walls and black tiles. All the lights suddenly shift with the rhythm of the music, jumping from calm to jubilant—waves of red, gold, and orange light cover every building, layer upon layer, your eyes can’t take it all in! Three minutes feel like a roller coaster—experience the designed emotions: a stunning opening, a peaceful and healing middle, and a purely festive, lively finale. ❗️Some practical tips: Your phone can capture great shots: no need for a professional camera, use video mode, remember to turn on Live Photo or just record a short video—the flowing light and shadow effect is ten times stronger than photos! 📷 Positioning is key: many recommend the Nine-turn Bridge, which is great, but crossing to the back offers better foreground views. This "Chinese flavor" light show takes place in the heart of a modern city! Shanghai’s winter nights are worth making a trip for these three minutes~
