Innovative cultural tourism heats up China’s National Day holiday

With China’s traditional Mid-Autumn Festival falling alongside the National Day holiday this year, an eight-day holiday season starting Wednesday is providing holidaymakers with a full range of colorful cultural and recreational activities, including innovative cultural events, across the country.

In the ongoing holiday season, people in the financial hub of Shanghai have a new option — to visit the Fuxing Island of Shanghai’s Yangpu District, where old industrial plants have been converted into art stages, and where various public art installations have been set up in squares and green spaces, providing an immersive and interactive experience for visitors.

In Suining City of southwest China’s Sichuan Province, thematic cultural activities have been held to mark the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival. The cultural and artistic performances vividly showcase the 1,600-year history of Suining. Enjoying folk activities and tasting local cuisines enable the visitors to have an immersive experience.
