Hands-on experience events were launched on site, with visitors able to learn from instructors about how to do Chagan Lake fish skin painting.

Chagan Lake in the province is famous for its fishing and hunting traditions. This unique way of life has given rise to a unique form of intangible cultural heritage known as fish skin art. The finished products from Chagan Lake's fish skins include fish skin paintings, pendants, ornaments and household items.

Meanwhile, as a famous and independent brand in China, FAW-Hongqi – based in Changchun city in Jilin – featured at the theme day. The luxury car marque has attracted a huge number of fans from home and abroad, with its elegant appearance and stable and reliable mechanical quality.

The FAW Qisi Smile online interaction experience platform, which was promoted at the event, is said to have realized a leading industry achievement. It has one infotainment controller with five split-screens and supports 8K screen resolution interface functionality. The full-stack technologies are also said to reflect FAW Hongqi's overall R&D capabilities in intelligent cockpits – including hardware, operating systems and cloud-based platform vertical integration.
