BEIJING, Sept. 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As the large-sized lanterns
dotting two exhibition zones in Kunshan City, east
China were lighted on Friday, the
city came into a spectacular celebration of the forthcoming
Mid-Autumn Festival on September
17.
From September 14, its 2024
Mid-Autumn lantern fair dedicated to boosting cultural and
personnel exchanges among compatriots across the Taiwan Strait is
open to the public in the Huiju Square and Zhouzhuang Town.
Kunshan is one of the regions with most frequent cross-Strait
exchanges as it has remained for years a favored destination for
investment and business-starting from Taiwan compatriots.
With dragon-related elements to inspire more to seek cultural
tours in Kunshan, several thematic lantern arrays were laid out on
the Huiju Square to bring new visual experiences for visitors with
digital lighting and augmented reality technologies.
In the Zhouzhuang Town, creative lanterns and metaverse digital
light forest were crafted to showcase local customs, indigenous
cultural and tourism IP images and Kunshan's landmark
locations.
During the lantern fair whose thematic activities will last
until late October, Kunshan plans to stage art performances,
immersive traditional Chinese Hanfu clothing carnivals and other
consumption-fostering activities to further expand cultural
exchanges among compatriots across the Strait.
By September 13 when the fourth
cultural month to bolster cultural communications between youths
across the Strait ended, 50-plus intangible cultural heritages,
sports, and artistic activities were rolled out in many cities in
Jiangsu Province since
July 23.
Among the over 3,300 Taiwan
compatriots that participated in these cultural activities, there
were 2,500-plus Taiwan youths who
grew their friendships with local youths via mutual learning and
understanding.
In recent years, Kunshan has been deepening cross-Strait
industrial cooperation and in 2023, the city released a basket of
measures for Taiwan compatriots to
start businesses and seek a career there.
On Friday, a one-stop service center for Taiwan compatriots and companies was launched
in Kunshan to provide all-around life services and highly-efficient
business-starting services such as school enrollment, house
purchasing, health care and old-age services for Taiwan compatriots.
