A dynamic and proud "Yuyuan Golden Mouse" stands on a giant dragon boat riding the waves, symbolizing the spirit of the Chinese nation in the trend of the times. On the west side of the dragon, there is a brave rat waving a big drum, accompanied by two golden unicorns, representing the young region as the driving force for future development, striving to innovate and keep moving forward.

Golden Plaza

The Golden Plaza area is centered on the Chinese New Year culture of praying for good luck and wealth. The main lantern set in this area is designed as a treasure bowl, a jewel of Chinese folklore. This year's Golden Square floor lantern set is based on this.

Jiuquqiao Square

The design of the main lantern set in Jiuquqiao Square is based on the famous "koi fish" element of Yuyuan Garden. The 8-meter-high giant red carp seems to leap out of the water and cross the "Dragon Gate". The idea of the lantern group comes from the legend of the carp Yue Longmen, symbolizing the spirit of upward mobility and continuous progress.
