The above photo was taken when local residents were visiting the market in the Ningbo Botanical Garden.

In the evening of July 10, the Ningbo botanical garden started its lighting ceremony, manifesting the start of the light and shadow show 2020 themed “flowers bloom at night”. On this summer night, people rushed to the botanical garden to experience and play, and praised the light and shadow show one after another!

When the reporters arrived, the garden was already crowded with people - some were watching the performance waiting for the lighting ceremony, some taking photos in various settings, and some picking their favorites among the stalls of the “Manxiang Market”. “This light and shadow show is wonderful! My son has been playing back and forth in the “time and space tunnel” for a long time, and is reluctant to leave. Other sceneries are also very beautiful. We’ve made the right decision to come!” Ms. Yang, a local resident, said with a smile, holding her excited son hand in hand.

Mr. Yan, who had just taken a picture for his family, also spoke highly of the event. He said: “we live nearby and come to enjoy the show when we heard the news. Although it rained in the afternoon and the ground is still a little damp, we all had a good time. We would like to come again since this show is to last for 2 months.”

This light and shadow show not only brings laughter to tourists, but also contributes to the economic development of Zhenhai at night. As is learnt, the original intention of holding this activity is to create a high-quality night business and consumption environment, and create a “Night Zhenhai” brand with local characteristics.

“Our business is very good tonight. Thank you for providing us with such an environment. Wish Zhenhai a better and better night economy!” an elder sister who runs a stall at the market said. She highly praised the activity.
