The story

Visit Shanghai Super Spring Festival in Shanghai

Visit Shanghai Super Spring Festival is a municipal tourism campaign timed to Lunar New Year, centered on Yuyuan Garden's showcase of nearly 100 intangible cultural heritage projects, from lantern dances to tea-making demonstrations, alongside craft markets in the Jing'an Temple area. Half-price admission at 60 major attractions and a digital heritage-route platform round out a campaign built more around citywide tourism incentives than a single staged event.

Rather than a single ticketed event, Visit Shanghai Super Spring Festival is a municipal cultural-tourism campaign organized by the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism, built around the Lunar New Year period and centered on Yuyuan Garden, one of the city's most visited classical gardens, as its flagship venue.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Functioning as a coordinated municipal tourism campaign rather than a single ticketed festival distinguishes this from most other entries in this collection

02

The mystery stays covered

its content is spread across existing heritage sites and citywide discount programs rather than one dedicated production

03

The city starts moving

Nearly 100 intangible cultural heritage projects showcased at Yuyuan Garden alone, including recognized heritage masters demonstrating tea-making and traditional craft, gives the campaign a genuine cultural-preservation dimension beyond simple tourism marketing

04

The water draws everyone in

Half-price admission across 60 major attractions citywide is an unusually broad incentive structure compared with festivals offering only their own venue discounts
