The 2023 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) was held at the China National Convention Center and Shijingshan Shougang Park from September 2 to 6. Hence, Shijingshan has planned to launch a series of activities for the first Shijingshan Cultural Tourism Carnival themed "Here I am for CIFTIS" from August 31 to September 10 to create a happy atmosphere for all people.
Chang'an Mills, a complex in the Shougang Park, will host activities such as plant markets and concerts. Moreover, the Fahai Temple Mural Art Center plans to offer discounted evening tickets. In addition, Langyuan Park, a tourist and leisure block in Beijing, is to launch intangible cultural heritage handicraft workshops, "Dark Blue Cinema" open-air movie screenings, flea markets and other activities.
The Culture Center of Shijingshan District, an Internet-famous site in Beijing, will screen science fiction, comedy and other films. The Shijingshan District Cultural Center here will present people-benefiting performances by national-level troupes such as the China Oriental Performing Arts Group, China National Acrobatic Troupe, West End Philharmonic, China Broadcasting Chinese Orchestra, Beijing Quju Opera Troupe, and Beijing Chinese Orchestra to bring wonderful performances.
For the first time, the Fahai Temple is to open the night show of national treasures - the authentic murals. The Stone Carving Relics Park in Shijingshan District will extend its opening hours for visitors. The Shijingshan District Museum will offer tour guide services every night from 19:00 to 20:00. Additionally, visitors can learn about 35 intangible cultural heritage items in eight categories at the Shijingshan District Intangible Cultural Heritage Center, and the Lego activity "Fun of Building the Future" in the Library of Shijingshan District is due to open.
Furthermore, Shijingshan, together with platforms such as Meituan and Dianping, plans to release the "Have you eaten yet - Treasure Map of Snacks in Shijingshan District".
On top of that, Shijingshan has set up a dedicated area for the district's cultural tourism services in each hotel, coordinating with the hotels to offer discounted room rates, special dishes, and multiple services. In partnership with the Meituan platform, the district has also issued coupons for accommodation and consumption worth CNY one million to citizens. The issuing of consumption coupons will last from the host of CIFTIS to after the National Day in three rounds, and the money-off policy, when reaching the consumption threshold, will be adopted. Each person per round will get one valid for seven days from the date of issuance.
Together with the high-quality enterprise China Youth Travel Service (CYTS) settled in the district, Shijingshan has even set up a live stream "Shijingshan Cultural Tourism Products" on Douyin for the first time in the exhibition area of the Shijingshan Cultural Tourism Service Exhibition of the CIFTIS.
To facilitate travel for the public, the Shijingshan District Culture and Tourism Bureau has specially arranged a free CIFTIS tour bus for "Touring in Shijingshan" from September 2 to September 6. There are morning, daytime and evening routes connecting stops such as the Shougang Park Exhibition Area, Moshikou Historical and Cultural Block, Joy City (West Beijing Store), and Xirondo Plaza.
During the carnival, a series of features themed on "Here I am CIFTIS" will be released on the official WeChat account of Shijingshan District Culture and Tourism Bureau, continuously promoting the cultural and tourism resources of Shijingshan District.
