Yuyuan Garden, also known as Yu Garden, is a classical garden located in the Huangpu District of Shanghai. It has a rich history dating back to the Ming Dynasty and was originally built by Pan Yunduan, a government officer, as a place for his parents to enjoy their old age. The name "Yu" translates to pleasing and satisfying in Chinese, reflecting the tranquil and happy atmosphere of the garden.

The Shanghai Yuyuan Garden Lantern Festival is held annually from late January to late February to celebrate the Year of the Dragon. This festival is a highlight of the Spring Festival celebrations in Shanghai and attracts a large crowd due to its beauty and significance.

As we explore the festival, you will be mesmerized by the vibrant and intricate dragon lanterns that adorn the garden. Inspired by the ancient Chinese classic "Shan Hai Jing" or "Classic of Mountains and Seas," with a focus on the "Sea Chapter," the lantern display brings to life a captivating world of marine flora, fauna, and mythical creatures, with the dragon taking center stage.

One of the highlights of the festival is a stunning lantern installation called "While Fish and Loong Lanterns Dance All Night." This installation is inspired by the classic Song poetry "The Lantern Festival Night – to the tune of Green Jade Table" by the renowned poet Xin Qiji from the Southern Song Dynasty. It adds an enchanting touch to the modern-day winter night, immersing us in the radiance of classical Chinese poetry.

The Yuyuan Garden Lantern Festival will illuminate the city for 40 days, concluding on February 29, 2024. It is a truly magical experience that showcases the beauty and cultural heritage of Shanghai during the Chinese Lunar New Year.
