On September 19th, Shanghai Happy Valley's "Amazing Trendy Play Festival" kicked off, with the simultaneous opening of a newly crafted, infinite-flow live-action game park.

Centered around the theme "Amazing Dramas Unfold," this edition of the Trendy Play Festival breaks away from the traditional, singular entertainment model of theme parks. It deeply integrates Chinese folk culture, contemporary psychological issues, and immersive game mechanics, striving to create a large-scale, live-action interactive experience space that holds cultural dissemination value and offers emotional healings. It provides a brand-new cultural tourism and a spiritual release venue for urban young people.

The event will run until November 16th.

As neon signs flicker on and the evening air fills with the scent of sizzling crayfish, Shanghai’s Songjiang District is shaping a new identity—one built around food, festivals and a thriving night economy.

At Dongming Plaza, hundreds of tables spill onto the streets where families and friends gather to peel shrimp and raise glasses. Since July, nearly a million people have passed through the plaza, with peak nights topping 20,000 visitors. More than 150 businesses now crowd the site—half of them restaurants.

Songjiang’s summer calendar has been dominated by large-scale events. The “Songjiang Food Time” carnival reached 8.8 million online impressions and attracted more than 65,000 on-site visitors. The Qingdao Beer Festival drew over 200,000 people in ten days, generating sales of RMB 2.2 million ($300,000) and boosting surrounding hotels and malls by another RMB 3 million ($410,000).

Meanwhile, the Sijing Night Market, often called Shanghai’s largest open-air night market, offers a different flavor of Songjiang nightlife. Each evening, some 30,000 visitors wander through rows of stalls selling specialties from across China. “With 100 yuan—about $14—you can eat your way across the country,” said a local resident.

Twenty-five floats showcasing diverse cultural themes lit up the streets of Songjiang District on the evening of September 19 as the 36th Shanghai Tourism Festival hit its peak, offering residents and visitors a vibrant visual feast. The parade, which began at 7:30 p.m., featured floats highlighting local water-town scenery, development achievements, and distinctive ethnic traditions.

One of the highlights was a float representing Sijing Ancient Town. Its design featured a giant “blind box” with wave patterns at the base, symbolizing shimmering lights on flowing water. As the box opened, figures of an ancient scholar and a Kunqu Opera performer emerged, blending traditional aesthetics with modern creativity. “It combined the ancient style with modern elements. It’s really fun,” said Ms. Zhu, a local resident.

The float parade marked the start of a two-month tourism festival that will run through November. To further boost participation, the local culture and tourism bureau has also issued online consumption vouchers worth ÂĄ1 million (about US$140,500) for visitors.

An exhibition showcasing 715 exotic pets from 76 species opened on September 9 at the Guangfulin Cultural Relics Archaeological Exhibition Hall in Songjiang. Titled “Prehistoric Cuteness,” it will run through December 9.

The display is divided into six themed zones, where visitors can view animals such as capybaras, guinea pigs, lizards, and tortoises in habitats resembling their natural environments. In the desert-themed zone, for instance, tortoises can be seen feeding on plants adapted to arid conditions. Under staff supervision, guests may gently touch or hold some animals.

“We are combining living animals with cultural relics to enhance the visitor experience,” said Yuan Qi, deputy manager of Shanghai Songjiang Cultural Tourism Development Co., Ltd. “The aim is to spark interest, especially among young people, in both exotic pets and the history of Guangfulin.”

Songjiang-based Universal Energy has successfully connected its 100-megawatt wind power project in Kazakhstan’s Ulytau Region to the grid, which is expected to deliver about 387 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually.

Located in the grasslands and semi-desert area of central-northern Kazakhstan, Ulytau Region is rich in wind resources but was in urgent need of upgraded power facilities. Today, rows of white wind turbines funded and built by Universal Energy are rising across the steppe, converting wind into clean electricity.

Two years ago, at the third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, Universal Energy signed a cooperation agreement with Kazakhstan partners on a 250MW wind power project, which included the Mezgilder Qushteri 100MW wind farm now in operation.

At present, Universal Energy’s green footprint is expanding along the Belt and Road. In Kazakhstan, the company has nearly 2 gigawatts of projects under construction or in preparation. In Uzbekistan, it is building a 500MW mountain wind farm--the country’s largest --with an investment of 3 billion yuan, and pioneering RMB-denominated power tariffs. In Azerbaijan, it has won the tender for the country’s first publicly-bid 100MW solar power project.

The Jiasong Highway river-crossing project in Songjiang marked a major step forward on September 12, with the main span’s steel box girder successfully joined. The milestone completes the bridge’s superstructure and clears the way for main cable construction.

Planned as the last major bridge over the Huangpu River, it will be the first long-span self-anchored suspension bridge on the river and is scheduled to open by the end of 2026.

​It will be the 14th Huangpu River bridge.

Designed with six traffic lanes and pedestrian and cycling paths on both sides, it is the first Huangpu bridge to allow non-motorized crossing without elevators. The bridge will measure 1,825 meters in total length, with a 36.6-meter-wide deck and an 827-meter approach span.
