THIS is the golden season for harvest, for holiday and for shopping for gold and fine jewelry - and just about anything you want. Shopping and tourism festivals are underway in Yangpu. Victoria Fei reports.
Tourism and shopping are the season's themes, especially when the National Day holiday is around the corner. The holiday week begins Saturday.
Both the Shanghai Tourism Festival and Shanghai Shopping Festival are in full swing, lasting through the end of the holiday on October 7. And Yangpu District is putting its best foot forward.
Visitors can enjoy float parades, the 11th Forest Carnival, a cooking contest and various cultural activities.
Meanwhile, Wujiaochang is probably the most popular shopping area, filled with fashion, design and delicious cuisine.
The local government wants to build it into a "feast for everyone."
Huangxing Park is crowded and happy. On the night of last Tuesday, the park was the starting point for a tour of 22 floats and 22 performance teams from home and abroad. Floats came from around the Yangtze River Delta, the Tibet Autonomous Region, Shandong Province as well as Japan, Indonesia and other countries. The Japan float featured a bowl of udon noodle. Floats designed by tourism institutions, airlines and ports also took part.
The Forest Carnival at Gongqing Forest Park from October 1 to 6 is titled "Green Carnival, Great Passion." Visitors will be greeted by a drum corps from Scotland and an exotic dance team.
At the park's central square, a 150-square-meter stage showcases simultaneous dance performance from around the world, including a cowboy dance, hula, belly dance, flamenco, samba, modern jazz and others.
Each afternoon, a team of 50 performers tours the park, putting on shows of stilt walking, acrobatics and other feats. Brazilian samba dancers, magicians and clowns will interact with each other and the spectators.
The 2011 Yangpu Cooking Contest, which promotes Shanghai cuisine, pits chefs from five-star hotels against each other. Each tries to come up with the most creative dishes, cooking methods and presentation.
The local government hopes the tourism and shopping festivals will expand domestic demand and consumption.
A new Yangpu District website (www.compass-trip.com) tells you everything you need to know about travel, accommodation, shopping, entertainment and other activities. The bilingual (Chinese, English) platform also answers questions.
Builders hope the website will become a popular travel portal for the district and convey a fresh, appealing image of Yangpu.
