From June 30 to July 2, 37 cultural, tourism, and innovative enterprises from Liaoning participated in the “Victoria Park Celebration of the Return of Hong Kong” event, held at Victoria Park in Hong Kong. The Liaoning exhibition area, with a focus on “innovation and culture”, provided multiple perspectives on Liaoning’s cultural charm and development achievements.

Located in Hall 4 of the Chinese Culture Exhibition Area at the event, the Liaoning exhibition area covered approximately 3,000 square meters. With the theme of “From Liaohe to Xiangjiang (Hong Kong)”, as well as the design concept of “Beautiful Liaoning” and “Heaven, Earth and Man United by the ‘River’ of Harmony”, the exhibition allowed visitors to appreciate Liaoning’s beautiful scenery, cultural richness, and humanistic charm.

The Liaoning exhibition area was organized into six distinctive sections, including the Time and Space Corridor, Famous Cities and Ancient Charm, Leading Industrial Hub, Intelligent Manufacturing, Cultural Tourism and Intangible Cultural Heritage, as well as Embracing the River and Entering the Sea. Each section showcased Liaoning’s remarkable traditional culture, profound industrial foundation, abundant cultural and tourism resources, unique humanistic customs, and the latest achievements in cultural and technological integration.

As visitors entered the Liaoning exhibition area, they were greeted with displays of intangible cultural heritage performances such as sugar figurine, leather carving, fruit core carving, and pyrography. These performances attracted many Hong Kong citizens to capture cherished moments with photos and appreciate the charm of traditional culture. The introduction of Liaoning Guguo (the first flowering plants), Sinosauropteryx fossils, and Liaoyang White Pagoda enabled viewers to travel through the Time and Space Corridor and touch upon Liaoning’s long and rich history. The exhibition also showcased the beauty of Liaoning’s nature and ecology, featuring cute spotted seals, Panjin Red Beach, the “bird waves” of Dandong Yalu River Estuary, Benxi’s red maple leaves, and hot springs amid ice and snow. These displays extended a warm invitation to visitors to come to Liaoning to stroll along the beach, embrace nature, and appreciate the beauty of winter.

In the Digital Liaoning exhibition area, Dalian Betop Culture Technology Co., Ltd.’s Bear Warrior “Bei Bei” wearing a mecha suit, drew intimate interactions with visitors and became the “star” of the event. Exhibitions such as the 360 Ultimate Flying Ball, Shenyang VR Cultural and Creative Industry Park, EX Robot Future Science and Technology Museum, and the Metaverse Digital Twin Museum fully demonstrated the deep integration of culture and technology, highlighting the trend of cultural industries continuously forming new advantages based on Liaoning’s profound industrial foundation.

During the event, Liaoning also held a series of investment promotion and publicity activities, such as the Cultural and Tourism Industry Investment Promotion Conference, to enable more people to discover the beauty and embrace the excellence of Liaoning, attract more attention to Liaoning, and encourage investment in Liaoning.
