Various on-site activities were organized, including female dancers dressed in hanfu performing traditional Jiangnan dances, a 3D water projection show and a Wuxi Opera performance.

Many expats were also drawn to the celebration for an on-site experience of the natural landscape and cultural heritage of Meili Ancient town's ancient Wu culture.
