Visitors near Qingxi Park can enjoy several authentic cultural experiences. Every Saturday morning features a traditional tea ceremony workshop, led by master tea artisans, where guests learn to brew Longjing and Biluochun teas while savoring handmade Jiangnan pastries.
During spring, the classical poetry gathering brings poets and calligraphers together to compose verses and write characters amid the park’s ancient bridges and lotus ponds—creating a living painting atmosphere.
Collaborating with local intangible heritage masters, the park offers hands-on paper-cutting and tie-dye workshops, where visitors craft their own traditional artworks to take home.
For evening charm, the annual Qingxi Lantern Festival (during Lunar New Year) transforms the park into a glowing wonderland with hundreds of handcrafted paper lanterns, accompanied by live Kunqu opera performances.
These activities provide deep immersion into Shanghai’s Jiangnan cultural heritage, offering unforgettable moments beyond typical sightseeing—making the experience truly one-of-a-kind.
