The Lantern Festival in Shanghai

While living in Beijing may have been a little more exciting this Monday, Shanghai was having a relatively uneventful and probably more gleeful 元宵节 (The Lantern Festival). Former Shanghaiist contributor Peijin Chen took these great photos of the city in celebration.

I have posted a few photos from the Yu Gardens area during the holiday period here: Shanghai Lights.

Definitely a fun place at this time of year.
