On Nov 11, Foshan Sanlongwan Art and Culture Week was kicked off at Dragon Boat Square, Foshan New City. The 10-day themed event presented a cultural feast for citizens, displaying the creative urban living space of Sanlongwan.

As a strategic platform in Foshan, Sanlongwan Sci&tech City exerts an important role on constructing the Greater Bay Area. Sanlongwan Art and Culture Week is poised to play an important role in strengthening innovative construction and attracting more high-end creative resources.

Cross-boundary collaboration to highlight high-end art community

The opening ceremony was kick-started with a creative show combining Foshan Martial Art and Modern hip-pop.

With the idea of “Art Comes from Life and Can Also Guide It; Art Inherits Culture and Can Also Create It”, the event also invited professors and influencers to deliver lectures of various themes. At the same time, high-level talents were invited to cycle around Sanlongwan Greenway, and well-known folk musicians were invited to perform on the stage of “Foshan Talent Night”.

As a crucial brand of Foshan Nighttime Economy, Sanlongwan Cruise started the first music festival with the first trio concert on the deck in Foshan this year. In the future, Sanlongwan Cruise will present more musical events, combining cruise tour and art.　

Vice Chairman of the Foshan CPPCC Zhang Bing said Sanlongwan Sci&tech City has been committed to building a more livable, open and active high-end art community. Aiming at building an international art platform of the Greater Bay Area, the event will enable Sanlongwan to gain more momentum.

This cultural feast is not just a grand stage to display city image but also a chance to attract talents. In order to build a talent-friendly city, Sanlongwan expands measures to develop amenities.
