It is reported that the 8th Jiangnan Culture and Art International Tourism Festival will be held in Suzhou from April 25th to May 25th. The theme of this conference is "Ancient Charm Accompanied by New Tides, Suzhou's Jiangnan". Through a series of activities in six major areas, the "Jiangnan Culture" brand will continue to be promoted, helping Suzhou to create a practical highland for coordinated development of humanities and economy, and an international tourist destination with Jiangnan water town characteristics.
The opening ceremony will be held on the evening of April 25 in Swan Harbor by the Taihu Lake Lake, and the opening performance will be the premiere of the first cyberpunk immersive movie show in China, Monkey King. The drama relies on a hundred meter circular canopy and 360 degree rotating seats to showcase Suzhou's cutting-edge exploration in the integration of tradition and technology. The closing event will focus on the 100th commemorative performance of the dance drama "The Peony Pavilion". After touring 27 cities, the drama will return to Suzhou and carry out a series of special activities called "Searching for Dreams in Jiangnan".
The main activities of the event covered the whole area of Suzhou, linked with cinemas, cultural museums, tourist attractions and public cultural spaces, and launched three series of activities, namely, "watching the show in Suzhou", "reading about the intangible cultural heritage of folklore in Suzhou", and "visiting the gardens in Suzhou and enjoying the the Taihu Lake Lake", which specifically constituted six parts.
During the event, starting from the end of April, Suzhou will distribute approximately 200 million yuan in special subsidies for the benefit of the people. Among them, exclusive consumption vouchers worth 90 million yuan were issued through Ctrip, Meituan, and Tongcheng platforms for products with accommodation as the core. By focusing on important consumption nodes such as May Day and leveraging opportunities such as the "55 Shopping Festival" and "Buy in China - Su Pin Su Huo Promotion Activity", Suzhou City will further increase its investment in prize invoices. It is planned to allocate 110 million yuan in funds from May to June to significantly increase the winning rate, continue to stimulate market consumption vitality, and comprehensively enhance the sense of achievement for citizens and tourists.
