🌕 Mid-Autumn nights at Yuyuan Garden are pure Chinese romance.
Save this for an evening of lanterns, traditional music and a centuries-old moonlit ritual in the heart of Shanghai.
The historic Wu region has a Mid-Autumn custom known as zou yueliang, or “strolling under the moon.” Women would dress in their finest, head out together and spend the night walking beneath the full moon until dawn.
Yuyuan Garden is bringing that tradition back to life. Singers dressed as Yue Niang, or “Moon Maidens,” lead visitors through the lantern-lit grounds before gathering to honor the moon and pray for good fortune.
🌕 Procession route
Golden Plaza → Ninghui Road → Central Plaza
📅 Sept 19–Nov 30, excluding the National Day holiday
⏰ Performances begin at 8:00 PM
📍 Yuyuan Garden, Shanghai
The lineup changes every week, with Yue opera, Shanghai-style music, northwestern Hua’er folk songs, southwestern sounds, and cross-cultural performances pairing the p**a with African drums.

🥮 Shanghai’s mooncakes are getting seriously creative this year.
Sukiyaki beef. Stinky tofu. Fermented rice mochi. Spicy Xinjiang chiles. Cilantro beef. Huangpu’s bakeries and food shops are taking the Mid-Autumn classic in some wildly unexpected directions.
Here’s where to try them:
🥩 Shanghai No. 1 Food Store
A go-to for fresh-baked mooncakes, now serving four savory creations: sukiyaki beef, kimchi pork belly, pickled cabbage with pork tripe, and Sichuan pepper chicken.
📍 No. 720 Nanjing East Road
🍄 Chunfeng Songyuelou
Alongside its classic seaweed, mixed-nut, and red bean flavors, this historic vegetarian restaurant has added a rich, savory mushroom mooncake.
📍 No. 19–27 Bailing Road
🖤 Taikang Food Store
The one everyone’s talking about: a black squid-ink mooncake filled with pork and stinky tofu. Baking softens the famously funky aroma while keeping its deep, fermented flavor.
📍 1F, No. 766 Nanjing East Road
🌶️ Shen Dacheng
Two new drops: a soft and tangy fermented rice mochi mooncake, plus a spicy nut version made with Xinjiang chiles.
📍 No. 636 Nanjing East Road
🌿 ALDI
Cilantro lovers, this one’s for you. The filling combines savory beef floss with a fresh hit of cilantro—and social media has plenty to say about it.
📍 B1, LuOne Capitaland Mall, No. 268 Xujiahui Road
