The Jinzhong exhibition area in the Cultural Industry Pavilion features 11 large glazed pieces, meticulously crafted to replicate the mythical beast ornaments from the roof of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City. The Shanxi Wenbo Group's exhibition area presents an AR relief wall inspired by the popular game Black Myth: Wukong, where, through a mixed reality display, visitors can experience the charm of Shanxi's ancient architecture.

The Cultural Technology Pavilion immerses visitors in a futuristic world where cutting-edge technology meets cultural heritage. Unitree's "robot troupe" steals the spotlight with humanoid robots delivering impressive boxing performances, as robot dogs interact playfully with visitors. "We hope these robots demonstrate the limitless possibilities of combining technology with culture, and offer new perspectives for the preservation and innovation of traditional culture at the fair," said a Unitree staff member.

The fair also hosts many forums and seminars, where experts, scholars, and industry leaders gather to discuss trends and innovative pathways in the cultural industry.
