Moon Lake Sculpture Park in Sheshan National Tourist Resort is to offer lovers a series of romantic activities to celebrate Chinese Valentine's Day at 19:00 on Aug 17.

Chinese Valentine's Day or Qixi falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month which celebrates the annual meeting of Niu Lang, the cowherd, and Zhi Nu, the weaver girl.

The two lovers traveled across the Milky Way walking down a bridge formed by magpies to reunite with each other. This romantic fairytale still captures the imagination of many Chinese.
