The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index jumped 59.43 points to 3,143.02. The Shanghai market surged 5.34 percent on Thursday, cheered by a rally on Wall Street after the Chinese rate cut.
The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, added 1.87 percent, or 32.74 points, to 1,784.95.
