Lantern Festival celebration at Yuyuan Garden canceled
Online Edition
The annual Lantern Festival display at Shanghai's Yuyuan Garden in Huangpu District has been canceled, the Shanghai Tourism Administration announced on its website today.
Huangpu District Deputy Governor Wu Cheng said that even though the display had been canceled they would still have the same security measures since Yuyuan Garden is a popular gathering place during festivals.
The administration did not specify the reason for the cancellation although there was some speculation it was linked to the New Year’s Eve stampede on the Bund that left 36 people dead.
Lantern Festival celebrations have been held at Yuyuan Garden for 20 years, and for many in the city it is a custom to enjoy beautiful lanterns and walk along Jiuqu Bridge to mark the traditional end of the Spring Festival.
The event attracted some 600,000 visitors on the day of the Lantern Festival in 2013.
Meanwhile, the Lantern Festival celebration at Guyi Garden in Jiading District was earlier canceled for “safety reasons.”
