During the recent National Day holiday, people flocked to the much-loved old Zhongshan Road precinct – in the Shinan district of Qingdao city in East China's Shandong province – and had a ball.

The area attracted hordes of people because of a whole host of activities staged there, like music parties, immersive experiences and e-sports shows – coupled with its vibrant art market, evocative landscape and stage performances.

The average daily flow to the art square on No 15 Zhejiang Road reportedly exceeded 100,000 visitors during the break.

Zhongshan Road, the century old business precinct established in 1897, is now also known for being a vibrant and hip cultural hub in the city.

Nowadays, it has a rich blend of time-honored enterprises, cinemas, bookshops, museums and cafes. More and more people are now reportedly getting the feeling that the old place is really coming alive.
