Edited by Li Qian.
Shanghai's iconic commercial street, Nanjing Road W., has been illuminated for the New Year celebrations.
Under the theme of "Starry Sky of Shanghai," its section between Changde Road and Shaanxi Road is lit up in blue and white, and decorated with crystal balls which use dynamic holographic projection to display different images to fit different occasions.
Currently, the images on display include fireworks, lanterns and other festive elements to celebrate the arrival of 2024.
Historical buildings and landmarks along the road, such as Jing'an Temple, Moller Villa and Shanghai Exhibition Center, are lit up with gold lights.
At the intersection of Nanjing Road W. and Yongyuan Road, there's a light installation designed in the shape of spiral and flower petals. A bull-shaped light installation has been erected at the intersection of Nanjing Road W. and Fengyang Road.
