'Xinjiang Is a Nice Place' opens for a third year
In his speech, Rao Quan, deputy minister of Ministry of Culture and Tourism, said that the national culture and tourism system has embraced the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the third central symposium on work related to Xinjiang.
He said that after three consecutive years, the exhibition of intangible cultural heritage has become a distinctive activity for enriching culture in Xinjiang, serving as a platform for cultural exchange and interaction, as well as an important showcase for achievements in the preservation of intangible cultural heritage and the cultural development of Xinjiang.
"Drawing upon the unique characteristics of culture and tourism, and making good use of the abundant related resources, we aim to carry out the 'Culture Enriches Xinjiang' initiative in a better way, and contribute to building a shared spiritual home for the country," he says.
