Year of the Rat at Shanghai Yuyuan Lantern Festival 🇨🇳

Every year on the 15th day of Chinese New Year outside Yu Garden in Shanghai Old Street, Lantern Festical is celebrated in the most spectacular way. The festivities begin weeks before and the event closes the day after the official Lantern Festival.

🚇 Take the metro on Line 10 or 14 to Yuyuan Station. Leave through Exit 7 and walk 500 metres to reach the lanterns.

🌉 The nine turn bridge can get very crowded and it is recommended to visit here at 5pm when they turn the lights on!

📸 Remember to bring your camera and take lots of photos of this spectacle! It’s truly an incredible sight to witness!
