An annual folk festival in the city of Nanning, in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region of China, has been bringing in singers and artists from around the world, over a 13-year span of time, to provide a special mix of ethnic customs, international vision, and a modern style.
The Consulate District of Nanning provides a place where the city can increase cooperation with members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
Work on the 8.7-hectare district has been underway since 2005 and it has become an important part of the Nanning China-ASEAN Business Area.
"Every year in Nanning, the city is different and it has been changing at an extraordinarily rapid rate year by year," said Too Lai Huat, a Chinese Malaysian who is doing business in Nanning, the capital city of South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.
Witnessing the fast development of the city, Too, the former president of Nanning Rongbaohua Real Estate Co Ltd, spoke very highly of the changes over recent years.
The Pan-Beibu Gulf Economic Cooperation Forum, which serves to increase collaboration with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) members, opens tomorrow in Nanning, the capital of the Guangxi region, and runs through Aug 19.
