The event focused on traditional national arts and culture, with performances including opera, flute, guzheng, pipa, and national style Hanfu taking turns on stage.

With the blessing of traditional culture, a new business card for Luoyang cultural tourism is created.

The rapid rise of short video live streaming has injected new vitality into Chinese traditional arts and culture. As a leading short video live streaming platform with an average daily active user base of 378 million, Kwai has attracted a large number of traditional cultural practitioners to join, fostering a strong atmosphere of cultural heritage on the platform. More and more young people are willing to watch national art on Kwai, embracing a new way to understand and learn traditional cultural arts.

In early April, Kuaishou, together with Luoyang Radio and Television Station, Luoyang Radio and Television Media Group, and Luoyang Cultural Tourism Investment Group, launched the "My Hometown is Fun - Luoyang Station" event. By fully integrating Luoyang's tourism resources, culture, and Kuaishou's content creator advantages, the event showcased the beauty of Luoyang and provided a deeper understanding of the Luoyang Peony Festival through a combination of short videos and live broadcasts.

The "Urban Tang Dynasty" national music concert, as part of the "My Hometown is Fun - Luoyang Station" event, not only enhances the event with national characteristics through online and offline collaborations but also unlocks new urban marketing strategies, helping Luoyang create a new urban cultural and tourism business card that combines classical charm with a modern touch. Furthermore, the concert upholds the original intention of safeguarding traditional culture, promoting the continuous inheritance and promotion of Chinese traditional culture.

In the future, Kuaishou will continue to leverage its platform and content advantages to provide resources for the creation and dissemination of traditional cultural content. It will also collaborate with more cities to expand the forms and connotations of cultural and tourism communication, enabling each city to showcase its unique urban business card on the platform.
