19: At 30, a passionate song and dance called "Dream City" kicked off the Shanghai Tourism Festival. In front of us is the enthusiastic performance of the performance team. Colored boats slowly pass by on the dark blue Huangpu River. The words "Shanghai center Tourism Festival" flicker on the high-rise building across the river. The Oriental Pearl TV Tower is very bright against the night sky. As people looked up at the night sky above and to the left, words such as "Hello, China!", "Enjoy Shanghai", and "Lighting up the World Reception Hall" made by 1000 drones appeared one after another, along with the image of the tourism festival mascot "Le Le". The spectacular performance on the panoramic stage of water, land, and air was overwhelming. A live audience member who was busy switching between taking photos and recording videos almost didn't want to miss any beautiful frames in front of them: "It's both beautiful and cool, very touching!"
