Through this event, Guangzhou will host the "Guangzhou Day" event, showcasing the city's distinctive charm to a global audience through culture, technology, and trade.

During the event, Cantonese Opera, Guangdong music, and Lion Dance, which represent Guangdong's profound heritage, will take the stage to present the city's historical and cultural charm to the world.

Moreover, Xu Hongfei, Vice Chairman of the Guangdong Artists Association and Honorary Chairman of the Guangzhou Artists Association, will exhibit his iconic "Chubby Women" sculpture series—including "Kiss" and "Innocence"—at the expo for the first time.

In addition, Guangzhou's metro system, as a symbol of innovation, will showcase the "future life on railways" through smart models, and interaction activities will also be held on site.

On June 26, ahead of the event, the organizers will host a China (Guangzhou)–Japan (Osaka) economic and trade exchange event to introduce Guangzhou's open business environment, industrial strengths, and international cooperation platforms such as the Canton Fair.
