A street of memories thrills spectators
On the first day of the opening of Yan'an Red Street, grand events were staged in turn, keeping the tourists hooked. Yanhu Lake Water Carnival aspires to create a top and quality water show. Liu He, a trapeze artist with an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records, was invited to perform; professional artistic water skiing, jet skiing and other stunts were also presented to the tourists. The first Shandandan Flower Music Festival lit up the street during the night. More than a dozen bands and popular singers were specially invited to present a dynamic show.
With advanced laser projection technology, the perfect combination of light and shadow, a magnificent performance show was staged to relive classic red film and television art, and a witty fantasy children's drama and talent contest were also a main draw in the street.
Performing arts will entertain audiences nonstop for 365 days, including in the Meeting Square the finely choreographed performance musical White Haired Girl and Yellow River Cantata. Also on show in the Victory Square will be Yangko performers in traditional dress, the vigorous Ansai waist drum, a lively and extraordinary bonfire party and the Red Street laser show.
