Celebration of creativity picks up in Chinese cities

The Simple Life Festival will be staged in more places this year, in an indication of how the organizers have perfected its blend of music and culture, Chen Nan reports.

Established in Taipei 12 years ago, the Simple Life Festival, a cultural event that blends music with creative lifestyle products, will expand to more locations across the Chinese mainland this year.

The festival at each of the four new cities will feature different themes - Simple Heaven (Chengdu, Sept 15 to 16), Simple Dreams and Days (Shanghai, Oct 1 to 7), Simple Fire (Wuhan, Oct 20 to 21) and Simple Island (Xiamen, Nov 3 to 4).
