Electric performances lit up the Lin-gang Special Area in East China's Shanghai at an outdoor concert on April 18.

Expats, locals and young professionals came together, sharing experiences and embracing the energy and exciting vibe.

"Drinking beer, listening to music and dancing with friends in the forest is really exhilarating," said Marina, a 25-year-old from Russia who has been working and living in Lin-gang for two years in the tourism industry.

She enjoys the ambiance there and the vitality of young people from around the world.
