THIS year’s Shanghai Tourism Festival will light up the streets of the Chinese city between September 14 to October 6, with a parade, music festival and markdowns at Shanghai’s attractions.
For the duration of the festival, Shanghai’s tourism suppliers will offer a range of discounts for customers, with 51 of the city’s most-visited attractions, such as the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Shanghai Wild Animals Park and Shanghai Science & Technology Museum, cutting admission prices by half between September 14 to 18.
New events joining the lineup of festivities include the Shanghai W-Bank Music Festival, which will be held from October 1 to 3 at Xuhui Riverside Lawn.
Shanghai Tourism Festival’s float parade makes a return featuring performers from Belgium, Lithuania, Poland, Bulgaria and the Bahamas for the first time. In total, 29 troupes and 20 floats from 25 countries will take to the streets.
The English version of the festival’s website is due to be launched soon.
