Day 7 of the Year of the Snake: Encounter the Elegant Charm of Guyi Garden

In 2025, the Year of the Snake, Shanghai Guyi Garden will host an immersive intangible cultural heritage feast with the theme of "Floral Night Banquet, Melodious Yi Sound." On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year (February 4), the event will be nearing its end, but the festive atmosphere will still be strong in the garden. The twelve flower god lanterns will shine brightly, intangible cultural heritage exhibitions and folk activities will complement each other, and the garden scenery and traditional culture will blend perfectly. 🌟Highlights: On the seventh day of the Year of the Snake, stepping into Guyi Garden is like stepping into a poetic Jiangnan painting. In front of Yiye Hall, the wintersweet will still be in bloom, with golden petals trembling gently in the breeze, adding a touch of elegance to the New Year. Further ahead is Cui'ai Building, with its flying eaves and dougong (brackets) looking particularly ancient against the blue sky. Standing in front of the building, you can take in the lake and mountain scenery of the garden. Not far away is Yuanyang Lake, with clear water and shimmering waves. The willows on the shore will still be budding, but their soft branches will sway in the spring breeze, hinting at the arrival of spring. The pavilion in the center of the lake will be like a pearl embedded in the lake, complementing the surrounding scenery. ✅Must-try experiences during the Spring Festival: - South Gate: The first thing you'll see is the "Twelve Flower Gods" lantern installation. The flower gods, holding musical instruments or dancing gracefully, will perform traditional music "Gong, Shang, Jue, Zhi, Yu" to connect the garden's dynamic line, starting an immersive garden tour experience. - Yuanyang Hall: "Ruyi Years" woodblock New Year painting exhibition, showcasing Shanghai's Old City God Temple Xiaoxiaochang New Year paintings, depicting the old city life. - Plum Blossom Hall: "Printing Civilization" intangible cultural heritage woodblock exhibition, displaying ancient woodblock tools and works, showcasing the craftsmanship of Yangzhou woodblock printing. - Yiye Hall: "Brush and Ink" exhibition, presenting the charm of the Four Treasures of the Study with the intangible cultural heritage brush and ink of Cao Sugong and Zhou Huchen. Guyi Garden will carry the charm of intangible cultural heritage with the beauty of the garden. The garden tour on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year will be both a cultural feast and a unique ritual at the end of the New Year. Stroll through the pavilions, enjoy the lanterns, and guess riddles, experiencing the intertwining of tradition and modernity, and ending the New Year of the Snake with a poetic touch.
