A kaleidoscope of culture

Visitors of all backgrounds marveled at the array of offerings, which included the "Most Lingnan" Hongfu Bridge Market featuring iconic treats like Hong Kong-style milk tea and Macau’s butter cake, as well as unique workshops on traditional crafts. In the Dongguan Memories exhibit, old photographs and vintage objects evoked the city’s journey from a manufacturing giant to a cultural trailblazer. Elsewhere, Huawei MatePad Pro area blended tech with tradition, giving visitors a hands-on look at the future of creative expression.

The All Best Festival Book Fair, Guan grass Roast Goose artisan stalls, and food stalls featuring Dongguan's famous roast goose provided further immersive experiences, each one reflecting Dongguan's unique character and its people's innovative spirit.

Over the past six years, the GBA Public Culture and Tourism Products Fair has built a platform that fosters the exchange of ideas, resources, and cultural products across the Greater Bay Area. This year's event goes beyond showcasing products; it represents a shared commitment to cultural preservation and reinvention, catering to an increasingly diverse and dynamic audience. The theme "Lingnan culture, more trendy and fun" captures the essence of Dongguan's evolution as it bridges traditional and contemporary, East and West.

As Dongguan continues its journey as a cultural powerhouse, the fair not only fuels the city's cultural ambitions but also strengthens its role in fostering cross-cultural connections. In doing so, it offers a glimpse into the possibilities of a future where global collaboration and cultural celebration go hand in hand.
