A Spring Festival-themed evening celebration was held in Xiuzhou district, Jiaxing, East China's Zhejiang province, on Jan 18. It was attended by a number of government officials and thousands of villagers.

The event, held at a public cultural auditorium in Nanmei village, Wangdian town, consisted of three chapters and 14 programs, including comedic skits, sitcoms, and singing and dancing performances.

Nanmei village, where the event took place, is famous for its more than 6.67 hectares of plum trees. The village is currently making efforts to develop its countryside and promote "plum blossom culture".

The village also renovated its cultural auditorium last year. The auditorium, considered one of the village's most famous attractions, is an ideal place for villagers to carry out cultural activities, including folk performances, intangible cultural heritage shows, and Spring Festival couplet-making activities.

Since 2013, Jiaxing has made significant progress in the construction of cultural and recreational facilities, with 791 cultural halls being built in all of the city's villages, and it has invested about 1.05 billion yuan ($152.8 million) into the building of cultural halls in an effort to enrich people's spiritual and cultural lives in rural areas.
