Jiading District will celebrate the New Year with a mix of traditional and fashionable lifestyles, as well as a bevy of activities sure to impress tourists.
As the clock approaches New Year's Eve, a New Year's Eve party is planned at Life Hub@Anting. The visual and auditory feast will include a variety of shows ranging from rock to classic music.
There will also be dramatic acts and raffles.
The mall is located in Anting Town's Shanghai International Automobile City, which houses the Shanghai International Circuit and the Shanghai Auto Museum.
A festive atmosphere
Chinese traditionally hang red ribbons with New Year wishes.
For those seeking a feeling of ritual, the Guyi Garden, a Jiangnan-style (lower parts of south Yangtze River) classic garden with 500 years of history, will showcase the most traditional form of celebration.
People can use red ribbons to hang a wooden plaque with their New Year's wishes on trees.
Throughout the three-day holiday, a guofeng (China chic) bazaar will present exquisite intangible cultural heritage items and folk culture for residents and tourists.
The demonstration of the Zigong lantern-making technique will be a highlight. Zigong, in China's Sichuan Province, is well-known for its lantern festival.
During the holiday season, the garden will also provide guided tours concentrating on intangible cultural heritage.
