The 10th Cross-Strait Kunshan-Taiwan Cultural Exchange Month kicked off Wednesday in Suzhou city. Zhang Ping, vice chairman of the mainland side of the Cross-Strait Entrepreneurs Summit, and Xu Kunlin, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and governor, attended the opening ceremony.
As an important platform for deepening cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, the cross-strait Kunshan-Taiwan Cultural Exchange Month has been held for ten consecutive years.
This year's Kunshan-Taiwan Cultural Exchange Month will see 59 exchange activities with Taiwan.
The Cultural Tourism Commercial Street, which was put into operation on Wednesday, introduced nearly 40 Taiwanese specialty restaurants, night market snacks, tea art culture, and cultural and creative retailers.
Efforts will be made to build the most influential cultural block with Taiwanese characteristics in the Yangtze River Delta region, a beautiful business card for Kunshan's urban night economy, and a new retail experience area under the digital economy.
Xu Kunlin pointed out that the Cultural Tourism Commercial Street is an important starting point for Kunshan to vigorously develop the night economy, an important measure to stimulate the vitality of the city, and an important carrier to improve people's quality of life.
He asked all parts of the province to take multiple measures to boost all kinds of consumption, highlight the city's natural resources, cultural characteristics, historical and cultural advantages, create more consumption scenarios, and create a differentiated night-time economic city IP.
The governor hoped that local governments will adapt to diversified consumption needs, optimize the consumption experience of special food, shopping and entertainment, innovate consumption items, enrich business models, improve urban infrastructure and supporting services, innovate social management methods, mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of market players, make concerted efforts to release consumption potential, and promote the continuous recovery of the consumer market.
