Rice field walks, farming experiences, agricultural product tastings, folk performances, intangible cultural heritage exhibitions, oil painting exhibitions, installation sculpture exhibitions, RV and SUV driving experiences, and hanfu attire shows were staged in Qingpu's Zhujiajiao Town.

Sanitation workers there received 2,500 kilograms of rice, and people participated in traditional farming activities such as harvesting and rice threshing, and tasted local delicacies and freshly cooked rice, sharing the joy of harvest.

A diversity of agricultural products is on sales in Zhujiajiao for the festival.

The event aimed to showcase Shanghai's rural development, promote traditional farming culture, and provide people with the opportunity to get close to nature and experience the joy of harvest, the district's commerce, agriculture, and culture and tourism authorities said.

To celebrate the harvest, more such activities that integrate agriculture, commerce, exhibition, culture, tourism, and sports will be held in the district's villages this autumn, officials said.
