CENTRAL CHINESE CITY HOLDS CULTURAL FESTIVAL TO COMMEMORATE ANCIENT MILITARY STRATEGIST

XIANGYANG, China, Oct. 1, 2018 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--

Xiangyang, a city in central China's Hubei Province that is known for renowned military strategist Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period (220-280), held a cultural tourism festival from Sept. 7, featuring the city's rich historic culture and exquisite scenery, according to the Publicity Department of the CPC Xiangyang Municipal Committee.

The month-long festival included art shows, a Formula 1 motorboat world championship, a bridge tournament, an air balloon competition and a variety of other activities relating to Zhuge Liang, attracting tourists from China and abroad.

Innovation has run through all those activities. The combination of culture, tourism and sports pools the city's resources into an all-for-one tourism mode. The combination of a press conference, field tours and an exhibition of tourist commodities gave an all-round display of the abundant tourist attractions. The online-offline-new media coverage of the festival brings an even larger audience.
Local features have also been highlighted during the event. In addition to a variety of galas incorporating cultural heritage elements, a calligraphy exhibition on famous ancient calligrapher Mi Fu also drew many fans. Sports competitions such as motorboat and balloon presented the most beautiful parts of the ancient city from water and air.
