CHINA’S National Cultural Heritage Day, which falls on Saturday, will be celebrated with a variety of programs including exhibitions, public lectures and academic forums to raise public awareness of cultural heritage.

Shanghai Great World, a landmark city building that reopened to public in March, will host innovative stage productions, creative bazaars, a folk arts exhibition and a cultural competition.

Running until July 9, the events will showcase the values of intangible cultural heritage. Local families are also invited to a light-hearted competition of tai chi. The traditional martial arts will be creatively combined with tea art performance and traditional folk music.
