SHENYANG, China, July 5, 2023 /Xinhua-AsiaNet /--

During the recent event of "Celebrating Hong Kong's Return to the Motherland"

held at Victoria Park, Hong Kong, the "Shenhe Elements" of the cultural tourism

industry of Shenhe District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, attracted

significant attention.

From June 30 to July 2 this year, to celebrate the 26th anniversary of Hong

Kong's return to the motherland, Hong Kong Celebrations Association organized

the event of Celebration at Victoria Park. During the event, intangible

cultural heritage projects from Shenhe District, such as sugar figures,

pyrography, and fruit pit carving, vividly showcased the distinguished

characteristics of the "historic city with ancient charm" of Shenhe District.

Local residents showed great affection and enthusiasm for the "Shenhe

Elements", according to the Publicity Department of Shenhe District.

Shenhe District, located in the central area of Shenyang, stands out with its

strong "soft" and "hard" power in the cultural tourism industry. It boasts

cultural tourism development carriers such as the Shenyang Palace Museum,

Shenyang Middle Street, and Shengjing Grand Theater, and serves as a

concentration zone of historical and cultural heritage in Northeast China.

Moreover, it functions as a regional cultural and creative center, a national

cultural export base, and a comprehensive pilot zone for expanding the opening

up of the national service industry.

In the future, Shenhe District will make every effort to promote Shenyang

Middle Street as a hundred-billion-level business district, connecting

surrounding streets and alleys, collaborating with top commercial real estate

developers, introducing leading commercial complexes, and creating distinctive

themed street blocks such as the Northeastern slow living and leisure district

and the high-end luxury district with various treasures. By relying on open

spaces and alleys and introducing immersive interactive experiences such as Han

Chinese Clothing street snaps, themed performances, and cultural and creative

markets, it aims to build a model for the revival of the ancient city and lead

the development of the cultural tourism industry in Northeast China.
