The first China New Cultural Creative Market and Trendy Toy Carnival kicked off in Beijing on Friday, blending traditional aesthetics with modern trends. Featuring exhibitors from all 31 provincial-level regions, the 10-day event showcases everything from museum-inspired pieces to digital innovations. For Russian tourist Melissa, it was a perfect window into China's profound culture – and the ideal place to collect meaningful souvenirs, like imperial-style magnets, to take back home.
