Simultaneously, the cultural evening event themed "Welcoming the Harmonious Asian Games, Building a Happy Longgang" was held at Jiulongzhu Square on Riverside. The event was sponsored by the Xindu Community Neighborhood Committee and sent over by the Xindu Village Art Troupe, with nearly 500 participants. It was enriched with fantastic performances--seventeen programs including musical instruments playing, dances, songs, stories, martial arts, the African drum performance "Standing on the Grassland, Looking towards Beijing," the Guqin performance "Listening to Rain on the Mountainside," and the solo singing of "Walking Together in Happy China," took turns.

On July 15th, Longgang embarked on an activity titled "Welcoming the Games - 'Reading'(with the same pronunciation of “leaping”) into the Future". In the following one and a half months, citizens can visit different city studies in Longgang, measuring the city's cultural depth with each step and feeling its warmth. The objective is to continually enhance the reputation of Wenzhou's "City Studies" and contribute to the development of "Wenzhou，a Happy City Featuring a Millennium-old Trade Port”. During this period of time, all five city studies in Longgang will take part in this activity. According to a relevant official of Longgang, apart from welcoming the Asian Games, this activity is also aimed to promote the construction of "Literary Longgang, Reading City", and encourage students to make good use of the summer vacation, put down their cellphones, pick up books, and enjoy a joyful summer in city studies.
