| Shenzhen artists perform at the Baogang Stage at the World Expo in Shanghai on Thursday for Shenzhen Special Day. |
SHENZHEN Special Day took over the World Expo in Shanghai on Thursday, attracting thousands of visitors.
Shenzhen was one of 46 cities from around the world to be invited by the World Expo to stage a special daylong event.
Featuring a series of performances including singing, dancing, magic shows, martial arts and opera, the event was aimed at showing the world the young, modern, multi-dimensional elements that make the city what it is, Shenzhen Mayor Xu Qin said at a ceremony at the Baogang Stage.
More than 400 artists from Shenzhen gave performances, including the Shenzhen Orchestra, Shenzhen Senior High School students and Shenzhen Daweiwu Dance Troupe.
“I liked the ‘Nanhai Oyster Girls’ dance,” said Zhou Pengfeng, a visitor from Heilongjiang Province. “We can see from the dance how the girls raise oysters at sea and how their lives are — it is a unique Guangdong tradition.”
The series of performances will also be given at Shanghai Grand Opera and Shanghai Concert Hall in the following days.
