Allison Paige Abroad steps into a scene straight out of a movie as she visits Shanghai's Yu Gardens during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The night is filled with vibrant lanterns, joyful crowds, and a palpable sense of community. <br> Instead of feeling overwhelmed by the throngs of people, Allison describes the energy as electric — a shared celebration under the full moon. A personal highlight unfolds when she meets a group of girls dressed in traditional hanfu. They graciously pose for photos and even let Allison hold one of their delicate decorations, creating a touching cross-cultural interaction. <br> The group crosses a bridge to admire the historic tea house, one of the oldest in Shanghai, and peers down to see koi fish swimming in the glowing waters. They also sample a traditional fried dough snack, described as diamond fried dough. Later, they taste mooncakes, a pastry symbolizing completeness and happiness. Allison humorously attempts to pronounce the festival greeting, Jongcho Jen, with her friends. <br> Wandering through the Yuyuan Bazaar, she feels like she's stepped into a living storybook, surrounded by intricate lights and charming shops. The evening becomes a cherished memory, and Allison reflects on how Shanghai constantly surprises her, mixing towering skyscrapers with ancient temples like Jing'an Temple and the French Concession's maze-like streets. She concludes that Yu Gardens, while not a hidden gem, is an essential stop for any China traveler.
