Shanghai Watch, with a 60-year history and recognized as a China time-honored brand, has left an indelible impression the memories of several generations in China.
As the first domestically produced mechanical watch in China, it was once worn by the late Premier Zhou Enlai.

In an era when the average monthly wage was only a few dozen yuan, a 200-yuan Shanghai Watch was a luxury in ordinary people's eyes.

"When young men and women got married then, it was popular for them to buy a Shanghai Watch as a token of love," said Zhou Weihai, director of the maintenance center in Shanghai Watch.

Most of the watches produced by Shanghai Watch are automatic mechanical timepieces.

The National Kite Invitational Competition took place in Bozhou, Anhui province.

The two-day event featured multiple contests among 26 teams from across China, forming a seasonal cultural landmark for locals and tourists.

Originally named Zhiyuan, or "paper bird", kites served as a tool for transmitting messages. From the Song Dynasty (960-1279) period, kite-flying became a popular outdoor activity, especially around the Qingming Festival.

Kites also frequently appear in traditional Chinese paintings, such as the celebrated masterpiece Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival by Zhang Zeduan made during the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127).
