外滩踩踏事件将致更多公共活动取消 - 2015年01月04日

SEVERAL public events scheduled for the coming days and weeks have been canceled as a result of the New Year’s Eve tragedy on the Bund.

At Guyi Garden in Jiading District, the annual Lantern Festival celebrations, which were set to take place in March, have been shelved for “safety reasons,” officials said yesterday.

Built during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), the garden attracted nearly 30,000 people for the festival last year, and more than 40,000 the year before.
