More than 1,000 people basked in the full moon and enjoyed traditional customs at Guilin Park in Xuhui District on Thursday night in celebration of Mid-Autumn Festival.
Folk music, Yueju Opera and pingtan (storytelling to music in Suzhou dialect) performances were part of the celebration. Visitors also guessed holiday riddles and appreciated traditional crafts from the Yangtze River Delta region, including Taizhou dough modeling, Dafeng straw patchwork, Xuancheng bamboo weaving and Dafeng porcelain carving.
Guilin Park, a Jiangnan-style classic garden built in 1931, is known for its dense woods of more than 1,000 osmanthus trees.
The park will host celebrations again on Friday night as well, with reservations required.
