First Chinese creative park opens in Los Angeles

Los Angeles-Beijing Creative Industry Park, the first U.S.-based Chinese culture industry park, opened Tuesday in Burbank, Los Angeles.

David W. Gordon, Mayor of Burbank, referred to the launch of the park as an "outstanding opportunity" for the two sides to work together.

"From what I understand, it is a very impressive project, it brings together many of the things we are very interested here in Burbank -- education, training, careers, technique, in the field of entertainment industry," Gordon told Xinhua.

The park has gathered a number of influential companies in entertainment industry such as Technicolor Inc., Formosa Interactive and Marza Animation.
