A New Year's concert on Friday night heralded the start of plenty of celebratory activities across Qingpu District amid a rich festive atmosphere.

The visual and acoustic feast featured various musical performances such as folk, percussion, Peking Opera, and symphony with an East-meet-West approach, bearing people's best wishes for the Year 2024.

During the three-day holiday, plenty of activities are being rolled out across the district, inviting tourists to savor captivating Jiangnan (lower parts of south Yangtze River) flavor.

Panlong Tiandi, a renewal and upgrade of the ancient Panlong Town, features dazzling dragon-shaped lanterns of vibrant colors to mark the Year of the Dragon in 2024. There will also be dragon dances with a blend of light and shadow elements every night throughout the holiday.

The winter-version Panlong Fair gathers more than 40 lifestyle brands with "falling snow" effect simulated.

At Bailian Outlet Plaza in the district, pop-up dances, music shows and interactive activities will run through to the Chinese Lunar New Year in February.
