During more than 200 foreign cultural exchange activities in the last two years, the province's online exhibition attracted almost 10 million visitors from nearly 100 countries.

A 3D acrobatic fantasy drama, Golden Cudgel, which was performed by the Nanjing Performing Arts Group, was among the most liked of all the shows. It introduced to foreign countries the Monkey King, a character known to almost every Chinese child together with the novel Journey to the West, in which the monkey Sun Wukong plays a central role.

The works collected by the exhibition will be improved this year for better understanding and promotion, according to the provincial department. More modern techniques will be adopted to improve the sound and light effects for the popular shows. Subtitles and introductions in eight languages, including French, Spanish and Arabic, will also be provided.

A group of symphony concerts, musical shows and fashion shows have been included in the second batch of works chosen for the online exhibition.

Six shows from the exhibition have been aired in some Latin American countries.
