BEIJING, Sept. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Kunshan, a city in east China's Jiangsu Province, held a Mid-Autumn Festival lantern show on Monday to promote cultural exchanges across the Taiwan Strait.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival lantern show marks the 11th edition of the event since its inception in 2013.
It should be noted that digital lighting, Augmented Reality (AR) and other technologies have been used in the show to make the activity more interactive.
There are two main lighting areas for the festival, including the Zhouzhuang lighting area and the Kunshan Huiju Square lighting area.
The activity at the Zhouzhuang Light Area will last from September 25 to January 1, 2024, while that at the Kunshan Huiju Square Light Area will end on October 23 this year.
At Monday's lighting ceremony, Kunshan Huiju Square was awarded as a demonstration base for cultural tourism exchanges between Jiangsu and Taiwan within China.
Kunshan is one of the regions with the most intensive Taiwanese investment and business on the Chinese mainland, the most frequent exchanges and cooperation between Taiwan and the mainland, and the most fruitful cross-Strait exchanges and cooperation.
Over the past 30 years, more than 5,800 Taiwan-funded projects have been established in Kunshan, with a cumulative investment of nearly 70 billion US dollars, and nearly 100,000 Taiwanese have lived and worked in Kunshan.
Kunshan will accelerate high-quality development to deepen cross-Strait industrial cooperation and make efforts to provide a good environment for Taiwanese to study, work and live here, according to Zhou Wei, Kunshan City Party chief.
