It is worth noting that the music for the illumination show was tailor-made for Yuyuan by a French musical team, presenting a unique blend of East and West influences, tradition and modernity.

In addition to eye-catching shows and cultural performances, a slew of interactive activities are also on offer during the festival. Working with the makeup team of Xiaohongshu (RedNote), a popular Chinese lifestyle platform, the festival includes a market offering visitors immersive experience such as Chinese traditional makeup, fragrance sachet making, flower hairpin wearing, hair braiding, Chinese arrow toss and poetry writing.
