"It is our great honor to witness the big 150-year-old event landing in China for the first time," said Lin Guangdong, president of Guangxi Private Entrepreneurs Association.

"As Guangxi private entrepreneurs, we have responsibilities to support Guangxi Week performances and promote local brands on these shining days during the Expo."

Earlier this year, more than 20 private entrepreneurs in Guangxi expressed their strong views to the local government about how to take advantage of Guangxi Week at the Expo to promote local creative and performing industries and brands.

In line with the Guangxi Pavilion's theme of "Green Home, Blue Dream", its Expo week theatrical performances from August 2 to 6 have been titled "Magnificent Guangxi, Habitat Heaven".
