On the evening of July 10, the 2026 “He Feng Ya Yun — Shi Meng Yangzhou” Shouxihu Guofeng (ancient-style) Art Season officially opened in flowing light. Built on pavilion-and-bridge bones, lotus soul, and moon-and-wind ink, this guofeng event fuses classical lineage with modern light-shadow, serving visitors an unbounded immersive Guochao cultural feast and marking another benchmark of Yangzhou’s deep culture-tourism integration.
The season adopts a “day plus night” full-line experience model, blending ancient elegant gatherings, poetry meetings, ICH performances, tech light-shadow, and family leisure. By day, view the green lotus pond and willow banks, with painted boats crossing the blue waves; after dusk, lakeside lanterns light in sequence, turning the whole garden into a dreamlike glowing world.
Water-Land-Air Linked Performances
The scenic area upgraded a new water-land-air linked night tour system. From Xiao Jinshan to Wu Ting Qiao, every Friday and Saturday 19:30 to 21:00 hosts a guofeng fish-lantern parade — NPCs in wide-sleeve Hanfu walk shoulder to shoulder with lantern-holding visitors, the long fish-lantern line like a star river, easy to capture atmosphere-rich ancient photos. At the Wu Ting Qiao waters, two flagship shows — a hundred-meter water dragon breaking waves forward, and ICH iron-flower sparks flying across the sky, the burning starlight mirrored on the lake. Thousand drones dance in night-sky formation, summer lotus blooming and Yangzhou ICH elements alternating, lighting the lakeside wonderland.
ICH Gallery and Guochao Market
The Twenty-Four Bridge Linglong Hua Jie runs an ICH gallery 19:00 to 21:30 — Ronghua artisans stitching with flying needles, sugar-painting masters shaping with a flick of the ladle, hand-made incense ornaments and traditional crafts filling the stalls. Xichun Tai, Xu Yuan, and Xiao Jinshan offer guofeng sweet drinks, cultural-creative coffees, lotus scent blended into tea. The area also rolls out limited guofeng merchandise, themed coffee, and fine cultural products like Zhu Yan mirror, painted fan, bookmark, and pendant.
Poetry Meeting and Hanfu Perks
Every Friday and Saturday in August, 19:00 to 20:00, the scenic area sets a “Poetry Immortal” interactive session — visitors who fully recite “Spring River Flower Moon Night” (Chun Jiang Hua Yue Ye) receive a free night-tour slot, 50 limited per session. During the event, the first 30 daily visitors entering in Hanfu can collect a limited guofeng gift at the Xiao Jinshan coffee. The Wu Ting Qiao north lotus-leaf cooling zone, Fu Zhuang, and Shu Feng Guan koi-viewing points brim with Jiangnan charm.
Family and All-Age Experience
Every Friday and Saturday at 19:15, 19:45, 20:15, a family stage features puppets, magic, bubble shows — ICH heritage meets youthful fashion. Stamp-collecting for blessing, Guochao music, and the Shouxihu Wonder Tour run all day, meeting solo, friend-group, or family travel needs.
The art season runs through August 30; tickets are available on-site or online. Through water ICH, fish-lantern parades, and drone light shows, Shouxihu successfully extends traditional garden visiting into an all-time, multi-dimensional culture-tourism complex, effectively activating the night-consumption chain.
