Lanterns, LEDs and installations light up Hanxiang Water Garden
Spectacular lights have been switched on at Hanxiang Water Garden in Minhang District with the opening of a dazzling light show, adding a kaleidoscope of light to the park on summer nights.
As night falls and the stars begin to twinkle, the water park radiates a unique charm. The glittering light show has transformed the entire Jiangnan (lower part of the Yangtze River)-style classical garden into a huge visual art canvas, covered with layers of light and shadow.
