Taiwan, Shenyang strengthen cultural and tourism communications

The Taiwan-Shenyang Cultural and Creative Product Expo made its debut in Baihe Culture and Tourism Start-up Workshop of Shenyang Expo Garden on June 2. It’s a platform that will strengthen cultural communications and exchanges between the two sides.

Around 60 cultural creative products, as well as intangible cultural heritage products and crafts from Shenyang and Taiwan are on display during the two-day expo.

Many tourists showed keen interest in Manchu embroidery, paper-cutting, as well as plant printing and dyeing technologies.

Baihe Culture and Tourism Start-up Workshop, the host site of the expo, officially commenced operations at the opening day of the expo.

In accordance with Shenyang’s strategy to boost the development of cultural tourism and creation industries, the Baihe workshop provides a series of services including business incubation, cultural communications, research and education, as well as sampling of intangible cultural heritage crafts.

In the following two years, the Baihe workshop will be expanded into a 2.46-square-kilometer culture and art block, which is expected to become a typical culture and tourism business incubator in Northeast China region.
