The festival will last until November and will introduce themed travel routes along Taihu Lake to visitors, especially during the upcoming National Day holiday.

Yuantouzhu scenic area will extend its hours from Oct 1-7 and will hold outdoor musical concerts and boat trips for visitors to enjoy the wonderful waterside views at dusk.

A special performance inviting female performers to dance with lanterns in their hands will be held on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, which will fall on Oct 1 this year.
