6th Cross-Straits Cultural Industries Fair scheduled

The sixth annual Cross-Straits Cultural Industries Fair will take place from Oct 25 to 28 in Xiamen, Fujian province.

This year's fair has so far attracted more than 1,000 culture, entertainment, TV and movie companies from Taiwan who are seeking business opportunities with their mainland counterparts, the fair's organizing committee said.

The fair will cover 100,000 square meters, which is 40,000 sq m more than last year. The exhibition area will be divided into nine sections, with the digital art area and the industrial design area being highlighted.

A cross-Straits book fair and a sporting goods fair will take place concurrently with the event.

Launched in 2008, the CSCIF has evolved into a comprehensive cultural industry exhibition and a cultural trade and investment platform.

It has played a vital role in promoting cross-Straits cooperation in the cultural industry and supporting the development of economic and cultural sectors.
