It is reported that the Jiangsu exhibition area of the Shenzhen Cultural Expo will gather 30 cultural enterprises from all over the province, and the three enterprises mentioned above will participate in the exhibition.
At the exhibition site, the "Cloud Train" in Yaohu Town led tourists to "cross" to the Jiangnan mountains and wateres of Yixing. The Yaohu Town in Yixing Yangxian Ecotourism Resort innovates Dongpo culture, Zisha culture, folk culture, Liangzhu culture, and actively explores the development model of "cultural tourism+exhibition", allowing tourists to deeply participate in the experience of traditional Chinese culture. In the first quarter of 2025, the number of tourists in Yaohu Town increased by over 50% year-on-year, with revenue exceeding 300 million yuan, vividly demonstrating the long tail effect brought by the Wuxi branch of the Spring Festival Gala.

Jiangsu Zhuoyi Cultural Development Co., Ltd., which has participated in four consecutive exhibitions, has been deeply involved in the purple clay art industry. With copyright protection as the starting point, it adopts the "digital+" approach to give birth to new technologies, scenarios, and formats such as digital cultural tourism, IP integration, and purple clay metaverse. Its "Purple Clay · Yi" platform integrates "physical+digital copyright" and organically integrates cultural inheritance and offline tourism consumption through the purchase of physical cultural tourism rights and copyright reproduction rights. It has achieved a transaction volume of nearly 200 million yuan and a total copyright of over 23.7 million.
On the other side of the booth, the "Kapibala Little Yellow Dolphin" series of cultural and creative products from Paixin Technology has captivated a group of visitors.
