Running at River Park is the Bangkok debut of the Yuyuan Lantern Festival 2025, a renowned event from Shanghai with over a century of history and officially listed as an intangible cultural heritage of China.

The theme, “Spirit Of Mountains And Seas”, draws inspiration from the ancient Chinese classic Shan Hai Jing (The Classic Of Mountains And Seas), reimagined through contemporary lantern artistry using immersive light, shadow and interactive technology.
