City lights up for dreamy festive season
Shanghai’s countdown to 2019 at Xintiandi will feature performances and a light show.
The annual New Year’s Eve gala at Taipinghu Park will have a “new era, singing for the future” theme. The central stage on Taipinghu Lake will be decorated as a “dream cruise liner” where singers Zhou Bichang, Aska Yang and Ding Dang will perform for an audience of thousands.
For the countdown, officials and performers will pull the ship’s rudders together to symbolize sailing for the dream, according to the organizer.
Traffic restrictions will be in place between 9:30pm and 12:10am in the Huaihai Road M., Danshui Road, Fuxing Road M. and Xizang Road S. area. The city’s traffic police will release further details of restrictions.
Tickets are required to take part in the event which will be broadcast live on television.
Tickets are available by registering with Xintiandi’s WeChat (xintiandiSH) and purchasing a New Year gift package. Also, shopping at Xintiandi can gain credits which can be exchanged for tickets.
Meanwhile, a Christmas and New Year celebration is being held at the Global Harbor Mall in Putuo District. The landmark twin tower building of the largest downtown shopping mall has been illuminated with festive lighting and decorations.
A 17-meter Christmas tree has been erected on the south plaza of the mall on Jinshajiang Road.
A cartoon pig character has been unveiled as the mascot for the coming the Year of the Pig.
