Jiading unveils cultural hub harmonizing tradition and modernity

He Dongying, director of the district's tourism bureau, revealed plans to host activities like the Yangtze River Delta youth traditional cultural knowledge competition and children's choir festival in collaboration with facilities such as the library and theater, extending the reach of public cultural services. "We hope to make culture accessible and turn the lakeside of Yuanxiang into a 'cultural living room' for residents," she said.

Looking ahead, Gu envisions, "This place will become a preferred weekend leisure destination for residents, where mornings are for exercise, afternoons for reading, and evenings for performances, making cultural life a part of daily routines."
