It also staged a Huju Opera performance, a traditional art form, and a Shanghai municipal intangible cultural heritage item.

These included gifts from the Guangfulin Cultural Relics Site, Shanghai Happy Valley, Tianma Mountain Park and Xiaokunshan Park – which are all attractions there – as well as a buffet dinner coupon for two at the Hilton Shanghai Songjiang Guangfulin.
During the upcoming National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays, which will run from Sept 29 to Oct 6, some attractions in Sheshan resort will also offer things to Suzhou citizens.
