Creative market ignites holiday economy in Fengxian New City
During the 2026 May Day holiday, the "SOFT・Xi'an" creative container market made its grand debut at the Youth Art Park, part of the Shanghai Fish park clusters in Fengxian New City, Shanghai. The opening event, themed "Floral Young Garden Party," offered Shanghai residents a lakeside leisure feast that combined trends, food, culture, music, family activities, pets, and science and technology.
This event not only attracted significant holiday crowds but also effectively addressed the longstanding issue of "sightseeing and leaving" at Shanghai Fish. By integrating the park with commerce and cultural tourism, it marked a significant step forward in upgrading the park cluster's cultural tourism consumption.
