Visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy beer while strolling along a century-old street and experiencing the fusion of historic architecture with beer culture. In terms of recreational experiences, Jinsha Beach Beer City will feature newly upgraded attractions such as a large-scale drone performance, a high-altitude maritime fireworks display, zodiac mascot illumination installations, street performances, art parades, and other distinctive live shows. The central stage of the beer city will host 20 high-caliber performances, and the Phoenix Voice Grand Theatre will offer themed shows daily. The festival will showcase a record high of 2,300 types of beer from more than 400 brands across over 40 countries, including international brands such as Heineken and Carlsberg as well as a custom exclusive craft coffee beer. Complemented by local delicacies like Chunhe Lou’s crispy chicken and Wangjie barbecue, the event will recreate a traditional dining atmosphere.
