This year's theme is "Integration, Promotion, and Sharing." With five main focuses – "Cultural Relics, Intangible Cultural Heritage, Artistic Charm, Travel and Openness" – the festival is hosting 14 events to enhance cooperation from the source to the mouth of the Yangtze River.

The "Guardians of the Yangtze" Intangible Cultural Heritage and Folklore Fair is an event not to be missed. Nearly 100 "market-goers," including many intangible cultural heritage craftsmen, have brought the best of the artifacts, delicacies and goods, creating a vibrant cultural and tourism scene that combines exhibitions, performances, cuisine, sports, experiences and shopping.
