The Hefei parallel session fully leveraged the high-quality performing arts resources of the 24th China Shanghai International Arts Festival, curating a series of cultural feasts that transcended national borders and time. The opening ceremony featured a popular musical presented by the China Oriental Performing Arts Group, while the closing ceremony specially invited the Zhangjiajie Philharmonic Orchestra to perform classic Chinese and foreign symphonies with a strong lineup of musicians. In addition, the phenomenal dance drama The Eternal Wave, which had been staged in Anhui several times and remained highly popular, was grandly reintroduced. Meanwhile, the parallel session did not forget to explore the cultural treasures of ancient Luzhou: via the "CSIAF Direct Express", it brought the classic Lu Opera Impartial and Unselfish from Anhui to Shanghai audiences, sharing the fruitful results of the integrated development of Yangtze River Delta culture.
