The Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA) under the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau led the publishing and printing industries to participate in the 32nd Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF) held from today (June 17) to June 21 at the China National Convention Centre in Beijing, and once again set up the Hong Kong Pavilion. Through a dialogue between literature and the city, the pavilion aims to showcase the cultural richness and unique charm of Hong Kong.
 
     This year's Hong Kong Pavilion features over 600 locally published books, cultural and creative items produced by Hong Kong printers, as well as precious manuscripts and items of famed Chinese literature writers, showcasing Hong Kong's cultural inheritance and innovation. The pavilion also introduced a new virtual reality zone themed "Hong Kong Literary Strolls", tracing a distinctive "Hong Kong literary trail" and offering visitors an immersive experience of the charm of Hong Kong literature.
 
     The BIBF is the largest national and the second-largest international book fair in the world. The Hong Kong Pavilion was presented by CCIDA, with the Hong Kong Publishing Federation and the Hong Kong Printers Association as joint implementation organisations. Supporting organisations include the Beijing Office of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, the Innovative Entrepreneur Association, the Hong Kong Professionals (Beijing) Association and the Bauhinia Culture Plaza. Through the themed exhibition zone, recommendation zone, Hong Kong picture books zone and business matching zone, the Hong Kong Pavilion aims to help Hong Kong's publishing and printing industries explore business opportunities while promoting Hong Kong as an East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchanges.
