As Qixi arrives as scheduled, what fresh ideas emerge when festival romance meets urban ecology? On August 19, Nanming District’s “Our Festival · Qixi” Forest Concert resonated through Guiyang Forest Park. Citizens stepped into the natural oxygen bar, accompanied by coffee and connected by song, unlocking a relaxing new way to celebrate among the evening breeze of the woods.

At 4:30 p.m., within the park’s “Feili Twilight Cliff” embraced by greenery and the fragrance of plants, the strumming and singing of the Panghai Tang band drifted gently into the air. As a Guiyang homegrown original band, they performed a rotating set of tender, romantic Qixi love songs and earthy urban narrative tunes. The clear melodies spread along the wind threading through the forest, gilding the whole woodland with a gentle festive hue.

“I was passing by the forest park after work and happened upon this forest concert — it felt like a wonderful surprise,” marveled Zhang Jun, a doctor at Guiyang First People’s Hospital. He noted that the day was both Qixi and the ninth Physicians’ Day. “Music heals the heart, and healers safeguard health; both are passing on warmth. In such an atmosphere, I hope love is passed between people and society grows more harmonious.”

It is understood that this forest concert was a free public-interest event, and an innovative attempt by Nanming District to deepen the “Our Festival” theme and promote the integration of ecology, culture and tourism. Relying on the district’s quality ecological resources and precisely matching citizens’ current demand for light, healing festivals, it deeply fused local music, leisure coffee and the festival theme to create a small-but-beautiful, warm, differentiated cultural-tourism experience — letting citizens enjoy a high-quality romantic festival experience right at their doorstep, without traveling far.

“This time we broke free of the fixed thinking of traditional festival events and moved the stage into the natural oxygen bar of the forest park, combining local music with a coffee-leisure scene, precisely because we wanted to offer citizens a more relaxed, more atmospheric way to celebrate,” said Zhang Daoqing, member of the Party Leadership Group of the Nanming District Bureau of Culture, Tourism and Sports and director of the district library. “Going forward, we will continue to activate the district’s diversified resources in tourism, living, culture and commerce, launch more cultural-tourism products close to citizens’ needs, and keep enriching everyone’s intellectual and cultural life.”

From trendy mall activities to wilderness ecological experiences, in recent years Nanming District has kept working the “Our Festival” theme, continuously innovating the forms of its cultural-tourism supply and unlocking more fusion “tourism + living + culture + leisure” play ideas. While enhancing citizens’ sense of festival happiness and gain, it also keeps injecting fresh vitality into the high-quality development of regional cultural tourism.
