This is not just a gathering of boutique coffees; this is a meeting of the Eastern and Western lifestyles in the urban green space of Lujiazui Central Green Space. The 11th Lujiazui Coffee Festival this time around has invited not just boutique coffees from across China, but also other oriental tea drinks and established brands for visitors to have a taste and feel of the difference in ideologies between the East and the West; between the past and the present.

With over 150 brands, visitors will be spoiled for choices as they seek the perfect brew of coffee and tea. Stroll along the street as you savor your drinks and appreciate handicrafts, Chinese aromatherapy and light snacks along the way.

Visitors can look forward to the blockbuster drama performance in tribute to the 25th anniversary of Kunqu Opera, with open air exhibitions and tea parties, as well as poetry readings to celebrate the age-old tradition.

Visitors can also experience the vibes of drinking tea and camping as you savor your carefully brewed cup of tea as you sit in the comfort of your chair outdoors. Hear the flaps of the tentage and feel the breeze across your cheeks; take this chance to unwind in the ancient tradition of drinking tea (or coffee) in the grass plains and relax in the afterglows of spring as we welcome the sparks of summer.
