Discover intangible cultural heritage at Guyi Garden
Print Edition
Shanghai Guyi Garden offers a cultural experience that beautifully blends the refined style of a classical garden with the rich legacy of intangible cultural heritage.
The Shanghai Guyi Garden is hosting the Intangible Cultural Heritage Month until October 19, which integrates digital light and shadow shows, live performances, immersive interactions and contemporary aesthetics.
This event provides visitors with the opportunity to appreciate the literary elegance of Ye Jin, the garden’s host, as well as the renewed vitality and warmth associated with intangible cultural heritage techniques.
Guyi Garden participated in the 2025 Shanghai International Light Festival while serving as the main venue for the Nanxiang Guochao (China-chic) Festival and one of the sites for the 2025 Shanghai Tourism Festival.
Using cutting-edge digital light and shadow technology, the event recreated literary events from Chinese classics that reference the garden.
Animated light and shadow displays blended with cultural relics, such as the brick carvings at the main gate, showcase the garden’s beautiful scenery across the four seasons.
Guyi Garden partnered with the Kunshan Kunqu Opera Theater during the National Day Holiday to present an immersive opera experience, allowing visitors to enjoy traditional Chinese operas among the pavilions, terraces, and towers.
Additionally, the garden also offered various intangible cultural heritage master classes and popular science aesthetic education courses, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the culture of craftsmanship.
Culturally guided tours led visitors to uncover the garden’s mysteries from the host’s perspective.
This event features four exhibitions that highlight the garden owner’s artistic interests and the elegance of garden design.
The garden-themed embroidery exhibition (Gu embroidery) illustrated the graceful artistic culture of the garden through the four seasons.
The seal carving collection exhibition offered visitors insight into the aesthetic pursuits of ancient literati.
The exhibitions offered diverse interpretations of the profound heritage of Jiangnan culture, creating a visual feast for attendees.
