The 2025 Yuyuan Lantern Festival will continue the fantasy world of "Classic of Mountains and Seas"

The Yu Garden Lantern Festival is a well-known folk activity in Shanghai during the Spring Festival. Visiting the Yu Garden Shopping Mall to enjoy the lanterns is a must-do for many Shanghai citizens to celebrate the New Year. In 2025, the Yu Garden Lantern Festival will usher in its 30th anniversary. Over the past 30 years, the Yu Garden Lantern Festival has always adhered to inheritance and continuous innovation. While integrating the strengths of traditional Chinese lantern art, it has continuously integrated the latest light and shadow technology, and tried to combine new technology and artistic expression with classical Chinese architecture and Shanghai folk culture to create a unique oriental life aesthetic scene.

Since 2023, the Yu Garden Lantern Festival has begun to use "Classic of Mountains and Seas" as a blueprint to create the "Shan Hai Qi Yu Ji" IP, transforming traditional zodiac lanterns into a light and cultural feast with deep cultural connotations and Chinese romantic aesthetics.

"The Legend of Yushan and the Sea" has been very popular since its launch. The two Yu Garden Lantern Festivals in 2023 and 2024 attracted more than 4 million visitors and received rave reviews. The 2025 Yu Garden Lantern Festival in the Year of the Snake will continue the story of "The Legend of Yushan and the Sea" and open the "Jungle Chapter". With lanterns and light and shadow techniques, many wonderful plants and cute mythical beasts in Chinese classical literary works such as "Classic of Mountains and Seas" will "come out" from the book, and a colorful mythical jungle secret realm will be built beside the Nine-Curve Bridge.

Transform into a "mushroom man" in the "mushroom jungle" and rediscover the beauty of all things

The "Mushroom Jungle" exhibited at the Shanghai International Light and Shadow Festival is part of the 2025 Yuyuan Lantern Festival theme light group. The design inspiration of the work comes from the records of "mushroom people" in "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, "mushroom people" refer to people in the "Lilliput Country". They are as small as mushrooms. Although insignificant, they have an optimistic and calm personality. The interesting thing about this set of lighting design is that in a group of giant mushroom jungles up to 7 meters high, the mushrooms of different heights create a mysterious scene. The streamlined and delicate texture of the mushrooms and the changing and flowing colors show a wonderful life vein. The audience can walk in the "mushroom jungle", shuttle between the shimmering mushrooms, and feel the wonderful experience of transforming themselves into the "mushroom people" in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

This lighting installation not only brings visual enjoyment to visitors, but also triggers everyone's thinking about the value of life, allowing visitors to rediscover "the beauty of all things and the wonder of all beings" from the perspective of tiny creatures, feel the value of small and beautiful, and discover the shining points of every life.

The “The Moon Reflects on All Rivers, and Everything is Round” in the Central Square takes “mirror” and “moon” as design elements and cleverly uses mirror refraction to create fantastic light and shadow effects; the “Four Seasons in Order, All Things in Time” lighting group of the Nine-Turn Bridge is based on the myth of Chang Xi bathing in the moonlight in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, with twelve bright moons falling on the Nine-Turn Bridge; Ninghui Road has countless bright stars hanging in the starry sky, creating the blooming beauty of “shooting stars at dawn”; the Golden Square creates a creative lighting group, inviting tourists to “dig the golden moon with a spoon” together.
