The Urban Forest Carnival made a comeback at Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park in Yangpu District on Friday after a two-year suspension due to the pandemic.
It presents a sensational mix of music, sports, delicious cuisines and leisure.

From drum dance, jazz, folk music and close-up magic shows to traditional Chinese opera performances, shadow play, guochao (China chic) animation dance and a cappella, the carnival promises a soothing experience for both the ears and eyes.
