ICONSIAM in Collaboration with Shanghai Yuyuan Tourist Mart Group and Intersteps Presents the First-Ever Yuyuan Lantern Festival in Thailand
“Yuyuan Lantern Festival 2025”
Celebrating 50 Years of Thailand–China Diplomatic Relations
ICONSIAM, the global landmark on the Chao Phraya River, in collaboration with Shanghai Yuyuan Tourist Mart Group Co., Ltd.— the organizer of China’s grandest lantern festival and Intersteps, proudly presents the full-scale debut of the “Spirit of Mountains and Seas · Yuyuan Lantern Festival and 2025 China–Thailand Culture Month” in Thailand. This extraordinary festival invites locals and international visitors from around the world to experience the mesmerizing beauty of China’s intangible cultural heritage. The exhibition runs daily from now until 15 August 2025, from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM, at River Park, G Floor, ICONSIAM.
This marks the first time the renowned Yuyuan Lantern Festival from Shanghai is being held in Thailand. More than a cultural event, it symbolizes the strong bond between Thailand and China and highlights the power of cultural arts to bridge nations and bring people of different backgrounds closer together. It also reinforces ICONSIAM’s commitment to its role as a Global Experiential Destination, striving to become a central hub for international artistic collaboration and cultural exchange, offering world-class cultural experiences to every visitor.
The Yuyuan Lantern Festival, with over 100 years of history, has been recognized as an important piece of China’s intangible cultural heritage. Its arrival in Thailand for the first time commemorates the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The festival is themed “Spirit of Mountains and Seas”, drawing inspiration from the ancient Chinese classic Shan Hai Jing (The Classic of Mountains and Seas) and blending it with the concept of “The Islands of Chao Phraya”—a magical realm along the river designed to resemble a floating island adorned with contemporary lanterns. These lanterns incorporate light, shadow, and interactive technology, with each installation appearing as a mystical island inhabited by fantastical creatures from the classic text, that celebrates the deep-rooted friendship between Thailand and China.
In addition to the breathtaking lantern displays, the festival also features a variety of cultural activities including traditional performances, a local goods market, themed cultural weeks, and art and light exhibitions. These elements encourage cross-cultural exchange in art, culture, cuisine, and business between the two nations—illuminated under the glow of lanterns that symbolize the light of Thai–Chinese friendship shining brightly for the world to see.
The “Spirit of Mountains and Seas · Yuyuan Lantern Festival and 2025 China–Thailand Culture Month” is open to the public free of charge, with the exception of the special exhibition zone, which requires an admission ticket priced at 200 THB. The festival runs until 15 August 2025, daily from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM, at River Park, G Floor, ICONSIAM. For more information, visit: Facebook: ICONSIAM
