Enjoy a cozy weekend life at this Rockbund festival in Shanghai

This spring, Rockbund's red-brick courtyard will transform into a cozy urban oasis for the "Tangping (Laid-Back) Life Festival."

Taking place on April 18 to 20, it's a celebration of slow living, simple pleasures, and community connection.

Swap a used book for a bag of fresh vegetables at the popular "Book for Veggies" booth – a soulful exchange that nourishes both the mind and body. Books collected will be donated to children in remote areas, spreading knowledge and hope.

The festival pairs chill vibes with playful energy – think hands-on activities, whimsical market stalls, and plenty of space to unwind. Whether you're here for a mindful moment, a little weekend fun, or just to bask in the sunshine, it's the perfect excuse to pause, breathe, and enjoy the good things.

Free entry. Come lounge, laugh, and live a little.

Date: April 18-20, 12pm-10pm
