Nanjing, the capital city of Jiangsu Province, inaugurated a "pop-up parlor" on Shanghai's Nanjing Road Pedestrian Mall, kicking off its promotion month in Shanghai.
It shows a multitude of cultural souvenirs representing both the historic and trendy sides of Nanjing at the store on 720 Nanjing Rd E. in Huangpu District, such as finely embroidered handbags and local delights like boiled salted duck.
For one month, videos of Nanjing's cultural and tourist resources will be shown at the store, and tourism manuals will be provided.
Shanghai and Nanjing have announced plans to expand their cultural and tourism cooperation and jointly improve the integration of the Yangtze River Delta region.
Nanjing souvenirs are on display at the store at 720 Nanjing Rd E.
The culture and tourism authorities of Nanjing suggested ten methods to experience the city's autumn beauty.
