Tourists can pick water bamboo, enjoy agricultural work, visit cultural and creative markets, weave water bamboo leaves and pizza, and participate in water town ecological activities.

Through October 7, Dongshe will host an art festival with immersive ancient-style dramas, music, pet carnivals, long-table banquets and rural artist competitions.

Holiday activities include rice cake making, the “Impression of Dongzhuang” Oil Painting Exhibition, pet competitions, pumpkin bowling and rural sports games.
