From July to early August, a key segment of the 2025 Yuyuan Lantern Festival made its debut in Thailand, attracting overseas Chinese youth and fans of traditional Chinese culture.

Organized by the Shanghai Huangpu Overseas Friendship Association, it lit up Bangkok with dazzling lantern displays, traditional Chinese attire, and heritage delicacies, drawing visitors into the rich charm of Chinese culture.

To mark the 50th anniversary of China-Thailand diplomatic relations, this year's festival took inspiration from Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas), vividly bringing the oriental aesthetics of living to life.
