A total of 25 floats, including one featuring the C919, China's domestically developed single-aisle aircraft, and another paying tribute to pop icon Jay Chou, will debut at the 36th Shanghai Tourism Festival on Saturday evening. The details were announced at a news conference held by the festival organizing committee at the Shanghai Jiushi Art Museum on Thursday.
