Shanghai Observer, a local news portal run by Jiefang Daily, offered newspapers and photos that reported many “firsts” in Shanghai, China and the world. It also recorded Jiading’s contributions to poverty-relief and assistance projects in eastern and western regions of the country.
Life in the Future Hall, which shows models of concept cars, is one of the highlights of the exhibition. Interactive images show the fast transformation and a vision of the future development of automobiles in the district.
A series of paintings with the “What I Want to Say to My Future” theme by teenagers in the district are presented through the interactive imaging technology and there’s a board with children’s wishes for Jiading.
