From floral music concerts to pet-friendly exhibitions that blend music and lifestyle, the Yangtze River Delta Lifestyle Festival will be held in Hangzhou’s Yuhang District in neighboring Zhejiang Province between the upcoming May Day holiday and the end of October, providing an ideal weekend getaway for those in the region.

Focusing on cultural, family, and trendy experiences, “Yuhang on the Weekend” program will create a year-round activity matrix. Among these, during the May Day holiday, Qingshan Village in Huanghu Town will host a renowned game IP-themed park, merging interactive gaming with nature.

A first-of-its-kind immersive exhibition will blend pet-friendly experiences with music art, while Jingshan Flower Sea Scenic Area will feature a starry-night film screening of international independent animations and workshops led by animation masters.

Yuhang hosts a bazaar in Shanghai over the weekend with children enjoying tea.

Yuhang is a place where ancient and modern intertwine, and tradition and innovation coexist. Boasting a rich historical heritage spanning over 5,000 years of Liangzhu Culture, 2,000 years of Grand Canal Culture, and 1,000 years of Jingshan Zen Tea Culture, Yuhang’s history dates back to the Qin Dynasty (221-207 BC).

Yuhang is home to Liangzhu Relic Park, a World Heritage Site hailed as one of the most important relic sites of the Neolithic Age in China, the Dajingshan Scenic Area that is noted for its tea ceremonies, the famous Jingshan Temple and the centuries-old Tangqi Ancient Town crisscrossed by rivers and flanked by black-roofed, white-walled ancient houses.

A high-speed railway trip takes slightly over one hour from Shanghai to Yuhang.
