Tradition comes alive in monthlong activities
Print Edition
Jing鈥檃n District celebrated June in a traditional manner with a robust selection of experiences offered around China鈥檚 Cultural and Natural Heritage Day and Dragon Boat Festival, the only UNESCO-listed traditional Chinese festival.
Jing鈥檃n Culture Center transported visitors back to old Shanghai by reconstructing scenes of daily life in the city鈥檚 shikumen stone-gated neighborhoods a century ago, where signature pieces from the district鈥檚 heritage-listed brands, like Longfeng鈥檚 qipao dresses and Humsuit鈥檚 shirts and suits, were on display.
In addition, people could try various centuries-old handicrafts. Popular were making pankou (buttons on cheongsam) and xiangnang (fragrant sachets), a typical Dragon Boat Festival accessory with a metaphor to dispelling evil.
Another popular attraction was Daning Park, where people dressed in hanfu attire attended for a lotus-themed summertime garden party. Besides booming lotuses, there were also displays of traditional Chinese opera, piyingxi (Chinese shadow puppetry) and other folk arts.
Life Hub @ Daning opened a guofeng (Chinese-chic) fair, and Daning Jiuguang Center presented guofeng music performances as well as dance performances by Chinese and French dancers in celebration of 60th anniversary of Sino-French diplomatic relations
For those looking to indulge in a captivating journey through the district鈥檚 cultural heritages, Jing鈥檃n has designed a 2-kilometer walking route: Jing鈥檃n Culture Center 鈥 Dameihua cloth shoes store 鈥 Lei Yun Shang West TCM pharmacy 鈥 Humsuit suits 鈥擫ongfeng qipao shop 鈥 Mei Long Zhen restaurant 鈥 Lu Yang Cun restaurant 鈥 Kaisiling pastries 鈥 Life Fun food 鈥 Zhangyuan Garden 鈥 Wang Jia Sha eatery.
