Videos from the Wuxi sub-venues of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and Lantern Festival Gala were playing on the large screen at the entrance of the exhibition hall. As travelers stepped into the hall, they were immersed in the charm of Wuxi's music scene.

Wuxi is hailed as the "hometown of Chinese folk music" and the "hometown of erhu" due to its rich musical heritage and abundant musical resources. The exhibition showcased eight meticulously curated music-themed tourism routes, including the classic folk music route and the music industry route.

While learning about Wuxi's rich musical culture and industry, visitors also engaged in interactive activities. At the center of the hall, a uniquely designed gramophone became a popular photo-op. By touching a cherry blossom-shaped button on the gramophone, visitors were able to listen to the soothing melodies of Taihu Mei (The Beauty of Taihu Lake) and The Scenery of Wuxi.

With deep cultural roots, vibrant musical events, and a thriving music industry, Wuxi is extending an open invitation to music lovers all over the world.
