The five‑day China (Shenzhen) International Cultural Industries Fair (ICIF) opened on May 21 at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center in Bao'an District.

The Yantian pavilion, located at booth 13A01 in Hall 13 and featuring 17 companies, attracted a large crowd by showcasing sectors such as gold and jewelry, life sciences, digital creativity, the low‑altitude economy, and intangible cultural heritage.

Yantian, a beautiful tourist destination known for its mountains and seas, has in recent years demonstrated remarkable innovative vitality by integrating culture and technology. The pavilion, decorated in blue and white, featured motifs of lighthouses, waves, sailboats, and other ocean‑related elements.

Among the exhibitors, Zhongfei Intelligent Technology displayed a variety of photography drones, while Xuyu Wuying Culture Industry Development Co. provided a fun interactive experience featuring holograms.

The centerpiece of the pavilion was a model based on the large‑scale sci‑fi spectacle “Star Ocean Era,” which premiered on a stunning aquatic stage in Dameisha on Feb. 1. Set in a cyberpunk‑inspired world, the production blends drone performances with immersive special effects to follow the adventures of detective Meisha and her robot assistant Pengbao as they courageously protect the ocean’s ecosystem.

At the booth, a bridal gold headdress produced by Batar Group became a major attention. Created using the traditional craft of filigree and inlay, the piece can be worn as a complete set on the wedding day and later isassembled into individual pieces for everyday wear or less formal occasions.

Dorie Garden, a wedding planner based in Yantian, showcased the possibility of planning a sustainable wedding by replacing fresh flowers with succulents for decorative purposes.

BGI, one of the world’s largest DNA sequencing centers, displayed pet‑related products such as genetic testing kits and probiotics for pets.

In addition to the main venue, Yantian curated four ICIF sub‑venues within the district, presenting an innovative, open, and inclusive Yantian.
