A 3-D game without the cumbersome glasses, a huge ink slab with exquisite carving and creative knickknacks at decent prices were just some of the attractions at the 2010 Hangzhou Cultural and Creative Industry Expo which ended yesterday.
The eye-catching event lured around 300,000 people.
Over 200 organizations and enterprises from the culture and creative industries of 14 countries and regions, including Britain, France, Germany and Japan, exhibited their products at the fair, of which the theme was "Creative City, Creative Life."
The fair set up 18exhibition zones in four exhibition halls.
The International Creation Hall displayed advanced works and ideas from foreign countries such as Italy and Japan. The Design Innovation Hall boasted creative works by college students, businesses and individuals.
The City Innovation Hall showed the features and achievements of every district and county in Hangzhou; the Cultural Heritage Hall played host to the Fifth Seal and Seal Culture Expo.
The Seal and Seal Culture Expo not only exhibited Chinese traditional seals but collected a great number of the "scholar's four jewels" (brush, ink, paper and ink stone). One of them was a huge ink slab stretching 1.16 meters long - the largest at the fair.
Local craftsman Zhang Xiaoming brought his tiny seals whose patterns stamped on papers are on average less than 1 square centimeter. Zhang's smallest works were less than half a square centimeter but with the characters still showing clearly.
Differing from the common seals used in Chinese traditional calligraphy and paintings, small seals can be used as signatures in letters and books.
Besides the indoor fair, another highlight was the 1,500-square-meter West Lake Creative Market selling creative items.
