"We have also prepared a large heart-shaped lantern as Valentine's Day happens to take place during the show this year. There, couples can ride bikes together to generate electricity that will light up the lantern," says Xu.

In addition, a pop-up store called Peppa Pig Celebrates Spring Festival has been opened on the first floor of Tianyu Tower, located in the garden, and will run until March 31. Here, parents and children can play indoor games and purchase gifts based on the popular animated character.

Sui Ping, a Shanghai resident, says that she is happy to learn about the major development milestones in China and Shanghai through the show.

"Being a part of the show, solving riddles and eating traditional Shanghai cuisine with family and friends make it a happy affair," she says.
