Dinghai district in Zhoushan, East China's Zhejiang province held a series of folk custom activities to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday on Sept 29.

More than 100 folk artists performed folk art forms including the Zhoushan luogu (gongs and drums), a national intangible cultural heritage, lion dances, and puppet shows.

The activities were also broadcast live through online platforms to teach more people about Dinghai's unique history and maritime culture.
