Residents of Hong
Kong and Macau will be able to book tickets for various events in Shanghai,
without leaving their hometown, thanks to a cooperative deal inked between
Shanghai and Hong Kong.
From August 22 to 24, a Shanghai delegation, led by
Vice Mayor Yang Xiaodu, went to Hong Kong and Macau to hold a press conference
on collaboration and cultural exchanges, tourism and sports, with a cooperative
agreement inked. Shanghai East Ticket Co Ltd has set up two ticket offices in
Hong Kong and Macau during the period to offer convenience to residents who want
to book event tickets in Shanghai.
Shanghai will host six major events this
fall, namely the Shanghai Tourism Festival, Shanghai Art Fair, Shanghai Golden
Grand Prix track and field event, the Chinese Grand Prix Formula One race, the
ATP Tennis Masters Cup and the Shanghai International Marathon. The event
organizers have introduced the events at the press conference, which aroused a
strong interest.
A Shanghai picture-exhibition was also held in the Macau
Town.
