Many tourists to Ningbo have such an impression: the city is very beautiful and clean. But the streets are a bit quiet after 9 pm. The city seems to lack a modern nightlife atmosphere of a thriving metropolis. How to make up for it? Ningbo now has decided to hold the first Ningbo Culture and Art Festival, namely Culture Consumption Month, to further create the urban cultural atmosphere, promote culture consumption and upgrade the cultural quality of the city.
It is learned that the activity will last from September to October. It aims to involve people in the culture activity and promote consumption. The whole culture and art festival consists of “Singing and dancing, impression of Ningbo, reading in Ningbo and operas”. The activities include elegant culture like China International Vocal Music competition, Broadway musicals and piano concert; there is also popular art shows like singing party for the 65th anniversary of New China, Yong Opera and Yue Opera. Besides, people can also participate in the selection of “Songs of Ningbo” “Karaoke Carnival” and “Online Show of Youth Talent”.
Hong Jiaxiang, director of Municipal Propaganda Department, pointed out that people in Ningbo are very enthusiastic about culture consumption. And there is a large space of cultural consumption. It is worth considering how to stimulate the potential of culture consumption, explore the market, promote the moonlight economy and accelerate the transformation of the city. Therefore, we should take this art festival as an important platform to promote culture consumption. The opening ceremony of the culture and art festival will be held together with “Culture Night Fair”.

On the morning of August 15th, the Public Utility Supervision Center of the Municipal Urban Management Bureau and Jiangbei Urban Management Bureau held a water-saver upgrading activity in Baihe Community
During the activity, people in the community got over 100 water-saving valves. Volunteers from the Urban Management Bureau helped install and debug the valves. According to the technicians, the traditional flush toilet wastes lots of water because it uses a button and its water tank uses rubber drain valve. However, the water-saving valve, which is very easy to install, can save 50% water. Each household can save about 20 tons water every year.
The upgrading of water-savers is a key project of the “Water Treatment Campaign” in 2014. Ningbo plans to replace 12000 water savers, including 5000 in the downtown and 7000 in other counties and cities. Up to now, 8500 water savers have been distributed in the whole city, including 3357 in the downtown.
