Jiangxi’s Preservation of Ancient Streets and Villages Sparks a Surge in Cultural Tourism

NANCHANG, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 November 2024 – On November 20th, the dance drama “Tian Gong Kai Wu,” based on the legendary life of Jiangxi-born scientist Song Yingxing from the Ming Dynasty, premiered at the Guangzhou Opera House. Since its first performance in Nanchang in May this year, tickets for performances in Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou, and other cities have sold out, earning it immense popularity among Chinese audiences.
The creation and success of this drama are attributed to Jiangxi’s efforts in preserving and utilizing the culture of ancient streets and villages. In Jieqiao Ancient Village, Fenyi County, Jiangxi, the architectural style, farming culture, and handicraft production all bear the influence of “Tian Gong Kai Wu,” making visitors feel as if they have stepped into a world filled with wisdom and craftsmanship.
Upon entering the Wanshougong Historical and Cultural Street District located in Nanchang, one will find that it not only retains its ancient architectural style but also cleverly integrates modern trendy elements, making it a popular destination for young tourists to visit and take photos.
In Liukeng Ancient Village in Fuzhou, a complete group of ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties is preserved. Walking through the narrow alleys, one can see quaint dwellings and elegant ancestral halls, with every brick and tile revealing the profoundness of history and the accumulation of culture.
While preserving the resources of ancient streets and villages in Jiangxi, the province has leveraged musical dramas, stand-up comedies, and other forms to allow more people to experience traditional architecture and culture, adding a new engine and strong momentum to cultural tourism consumption.

Events like these are invaluable, uniting leaders, regulators, and industry experts to foster dialogue and share best practices, and I commend Kenanga for its strong commitment to raising fraud awareness and setting a model of integrity for the industry.”
“At Kenanga, our commitment to combatting fraud is steadfast, and we hold integrity as central to our work. Fraud is an ongoing challenge that requires strong, forward-looking strategies, and we are dedicated to strengthening these efforts.

International teams from Singapore, Indonesia, India, South Africa, and Belgium also took part, further underscoring the global significance of anti-fraud efforts and uniting industry players in the shared mission of fostering a resilient and secure financial environment.
“Fraud and corruption are enduring challenges for organisations worldwide, and the importance of initiatives like Kenanga’s FAW cannot be overstated. By prioritising education, fostering vigilance, and advocating for strong ethical standards, Kenanga is actively contributing to a more resilient financial ecosystem. We commend Kenanga’s dedication to combating fraud through both awareness and proactive measures, setting a valuable example for others in the fight against fraud,” concluded John Gill, President of the ACFE.
