This year’s festival is considered richer and more colorful than last year’s, with such activities as a “home-brewed beer appreciation and tasting” event and a “lawn music garden”. The park area has a scenic spot called “Chinese fish” and a lawn for a music and recreation area for tourists. The home-brewed beer appreciation and tasting gives visitors a chance to taste foreign hops.
And, in addition to the land transportation, this festival adds water transportation so tourists can get to the festival directly by boat. Festival organizers have also cooperated with travel agencies this year and have some boat packages, as a key travel route.
There will also be pop music singers like Zhang Zhenyue and Della, and members of “Voice of China”, a popular music TV show, Bixia, and Xuanxuan to cheer up the festival.
