The first phase of the Haizhou World project in Zhoushan, East China's Zhejiang province, has recently made its public debut.

At the unveiling event, both residents and tourists have the opportunity to immerse themselves in captivating performances, such as traditional storytelling, a folk music quartet, water curtain movies, and a parade showcasing ancient-style Chinese costumes.

Attendees were treated to a range of activities, including collecting stamps, browsing a cultural market showcasing national trends, and enjoying fancy cocktail demonstrations. Additionally, Michelin-starred dining options and authentic local delicacies from the cities of Ningbo, Taizhou, and Zhoushan were available.

A number of stores have already begun trial operations, giving residents a sneak peek into the allure of this brand-new commercial street.

The project has secured contracts with over 30 merchants, offering a diverse range of businesses involved in dining, boutique retail, trendy beverages, cultural and creative experiences, and fashionable entertainment.
