99% of people have never seen Yuyuan like this!

🎇 If you come to Shanghai in winter, please save an evening for Yuyuan. The classical beauty by day completely transforms after nightfall. The vermilion corridor pillars are redefined by light and shadow, and every half hour there is a 3-minute "Winter Dream" performance. When the drumbeats start, the entire building pulses with the rhythm. The synchronization of music and light is amazing! You instantly get what "Chinese-style Game of Thrones" level shock means! Amber waves flow between the black tiles, and a red-orange feast blooms in the night sky. This is not just simple lighting; it truly has emotion and a story💫 Sharing my secret photo spot: Stand in the central square with the golden ginkgo tree as the foreground. The ancient architecture and dazzling lights are intertwined among the branches and leaves. The composition and mood are perfect!📸 Seeing many foreign friends around me holding up their phones and repeatedly praising, I feel especially happy~ The beauty of Yuyuan, the romance of Chinese style, is being seen and loved by the world like this🌍 Actually, whether or not you watch the light show, Yuyuan on a winter night is worth a visit— The air is filled with the sweet aroma of roasted chestnuts, the brilliant lights reflect laughter, and the lively, warm festive atmosphere itself can dispel all cold. And the "light and shadow symphony" performed every half hour is like a little surprise popping up from time to time, letting you immerse even more in this oriental aesthetic of life. 📍 Lighting area: full-area lighting, recommended viewing spots 👉 Ninghui Road, Nine-turn Bridge Square, Central Square ⏰ Every night: 18:30-22:00 (every half hour, about 3 minutes) 📅 Ongoing from now 🎫 Free🆓 Quickly invite your special someone and join this dazzling winter event!
