I wonder if it's okay to speak Mandarin in Singapore.

Yes, more than half of the people in Singapore are Chinese, and their Mandarin is average, but if they are just traveling, they can communicate with them, especially eating and shopping, which is absolutely no problem.

This "Chongqing Cultural Tourism Week" series of activities is jointly organized by the Municipal Cultural Tourism Commission and the Singapore China Cultural Center, including three activities: Chongqing Impression Art Exhibition, Chongqing Impression Intangible Works Exhibition and the ballet Chasing Shangri-La.

"Chongqing Impression Art Exhibition" exhibited 40 works with the theme of Chongqing city. Among them, there are not only Chinese paintings created by Chongqing artists, but also oil paintings and photographs created by Singapore artists who went to Chongqing to collect folk songs.

These works show the unique urban scenery, natural scenery and folk customs of mountain city, river city and city that never sleeps in Chongqing from different perspectives and forms of expression. The scene attracted a large number of Singaporeans to stop to watch exhibitions and read.

Chongqing Impression Intangible Heritage Exhibition shows Chongqing's national and municipal intangible cultural heritage skills, including cheongsam ornaments, Miao Xiu, summer cloth, woodblock New Year pictures, lacquerware and so on.

These non-legacy products are the ingenuity of Chongqing's non-genetic inheritors and craftsmen who master non-legacy skills. It is reported that this is also the first overseas demonstration of Chongqing's innovative practice of "intangible skills inheritance+precision poverty alleviation", and all the sales proceeds will be invested in intangible skills training in poor towns and villages in Chongqing.

The ballet "Pursuing Shangri-La" will be staged at the Gateway Theatre in Singapore on the evening of September 12.

The play is a project of the National Art Foundation. Won the Silver Award in the Fifth National Minority Concert and the "Five One Projects" Award in Chongqing, representing the ballet level in Chongqing and even the southwest region. This special event is also one of the overseas celebrations of the Mid-Autumn Festival "Lighting the Whole Paradise" brand of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

The person in charge of the Municipal Cultural Tourism Commission said that in recent years, under the framework of the Sino-Singapore (Chongqing) strategic interconnection demonstration project, cultural exchanges and tourism interactions between Chongqing and Singapore have become increasingly frequent, showing a thriving trend.
