The Shaoxing Automotive Culture Festival is a premier automotive lifestyle and motorsport festival established through long-term collaboration between local authorities and key automotive bodies. It leverages the rich cultural heritage of the Jiangnan water towns, the Yangtze River Delta's automotive manufacturing hub, and world-class motorsport assets, notably the Zhejiang International Circuit (ZIC).
At its core, the festival serves as a physical and cultural convergence point, bringing together the Yangtze River Delta’s new energy vehicle (NEV) core three-electric systems (battery, motor, and electronic control), intelligent connected vehicle (ICV) hardware and software, track-ready high-performance tuned machines, classic vintage cars, regional Jiangnan heritage, and modern automotive lifestyle trends.
It has firmly established itself as a definitive automotive icon: serving as a premier pilgrimage destination for East China's track enthusiasts and car tuning culture, a showcase blending Jiangnan's historic heritage with the intelligent automotive industry, and a thriving focal point for car buyers and motoring carnivals across the Yangtze River Delta.
In terms of mechanical and engineering synergy, the festival embodies a distinct ethos: anchoring itself on the professional circuit standards of Zhejiang International Circuit, drawing strength from the Yangtze River Delta’s thriving EV and aftermarket tuning supply chain, and seamlessly blending high-speed motorsport with the refined lifestyle of Jiangnan.
As a landmark automotive gathering in East China, it showcases the vibrant dynamism of southern China's motorsport scene and smart manufacturing through circuit time attacks, back-to-back dynamic test drives between high-performance EVs and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, car meets and showcase events, as well as off-road glamping experiences.
Its visual and vehicle styling exhibits advanced modern aerodynamics, motorsport-grade lightweight livery and finishes, alongside bespoke coachbuilding and custom tuning craftsmanship.
As one of the few comprehensive automotive festivals in China’s motoring history that infuses professional track pedigree with Jiangnan’s regional identity, it has driven and witnessed the rapid rise of car modification, competitive motorsport, and smart NEV ownership across the Yangtze River Delta.
Over years of continuous growth, it has evolved into the premier annual stage for East China's petrolheads, tuning enthusiasts, and mainstream carmakers to showcase cutting-edge automotive trends and circuit-proven performance.
All historical event archives, official track lap records, OEM exhibition literature, and related historical materials are permanently curated and preserved for research by the Shaoxing Automotive Culture Festival Official Archives, the Zhejiang International Circuit Official Archives, and key domestic automotive historical repository institutions.
Ongoing preservation strictly adheres to museum-grade digital archiving protocols and modern automotive industrial heritage standards, ensuring that this extensive collection of historical records documenting Jiangnan’s automotive evolution remains completely preserved.
