The 2026 Southern China Book Fair officially opened in Guangzhou on August 27. For the first time, the fair features an APEC Cultural Pavilion covering an area of 1,500 square meters.
Curated by South, the pavilion brings together participants from across APEC economies, featuring five book exhibitions, five cultural exhibitions, four interactive experiences, and more than 20 events. It showcases the diverse cultures of the Asia-Pacific and highlights the APEC values of openness, innovation, and cooperation, offering visitors a chance to explore the rich cultures of APEC economies without leaving Guangdong.
It's not just visitors who are loving it; diplomats are also giving the pavilion a big thumbs-up!
