A series of cultural activities promoted by the Jining bureau of culture and tourism will be held at the city's theatres and public venues from late December to March, celebrating the upcoming Chinese Lunar New Year in mid-February, local media outlets reported.

Starting on Feb 14, troupes of dancers and singers will perform a variety of shows in the city's Canal Culture Square for 13 straight days to get people in a festive mood. More plays and operas will also be staged in the Canal Music Hall and the Acrobatic City from Feb 14 to 18.

In addition, the bureau will put on events themed around local intangible cultural heritages at the city's tourism attractions to provide tourists with opportunities to learn about and experience traditional culture.
