Step into the future of culture at the 20th China (Shenzhen) International Cultural Industries Fair (ICIF)! This year’s event is a vibrant mashup of ancient traditions and cutting-edge tech, drawing creators and innovators from around the globe. 🎨💻
Over 300 overseas exhibitors—from Japan’s anime studios to Scotland’s heritage crafts—are showcasing their work alongside Chinese cultural heavyweights like Tencent and ByteDance. Think AI-generated art, VR museum tours, and TikTok-style storytelling tools that could make Shakespeare go viral. 📱🔥
‘It’s like a global cultural Coachella,’ says CGTN’s Omar Khan, who’s been live-reporting from the fair’s digital playground. Highlights include holographic opera performances and an AR calligraphy booth where your phone becomes a magic brush. ✍️🌟
With ‘digital diversity’ as this year’s theme, the fair is proving that culture isn’t just about preserving the past—it’s about coding the future. Want a preview? Check out how young creators are blending 5G networks with 5,000-year-old poetry… 🚀📜
