The parade on Sept 28 started at 6:30 pm, with the luminous floats departing from Turing Plaza and slowly making their way clockwise to Dishui Lake Plaza, giving the appearance of a flowing galaxy.
The Lin-gang Special Area's float, themed to represent the area's youth, stood out as a particularly popular addition to the scene. Representations of the iconic landmarks in Lin-gang — Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park, Shanghai Astronomy Museum, Shanghai Flower Port, China Maritime Museum, and L+ Snow Indoor Skiing Resort — were featured on the float.
