The 30th edition of the Yu Garden Lantern Festival, a key part of Shanghai’s Lunar New Year celebrations, was held from 1 January to 12 February to mark the upcoming Year of the Snake. This year’s theme, “Mountain and Sea: A Jungle Story,” was inspired by The Classic of Mountains and Seas, a major source of Chinese mythology dating back more than 2,000 years.
As one of the Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritages, the Yu Garden Lantern Festival features a diverse collection of lanterns with zodiac creatures as the theme, showcasing stunning traditional Chinese lantern artistry.
