city is required to offer adequate cultural supporting facilities, such as exhibitionvenues, hotels, theaters or sports facilities, libraries, cafes and bars, galleries and thelike. Founded in 1997, Chengdu Exhibition & Travel Group (referred to as ETG)established Chengdu International Convention & Exhibition Centre (Shawan) andJiuzhai Paradise International Resort & Convention Centre. In 2008, a larger-scale andmore advanced exhibition center——-Century City New International Convention &Exhibition Centre was completed. These exhibition venues and facilities provide materialfoundation for the development of Chengdu exhibition industry. Holding an exhibition challenges the host city‘s cultural creativity. On the onehand, various ceremonies and performances make great claims on the host. On the otherhand, higher demands are set on the host’s cuhivatjon qualities in integral imageplanning, space design and graphic design of the exhibition. Furthermore, the cityexhibition causes cultural talents to receive training opportunities so that the number ofthe local talents who are engaged in planning and creating the large-scale exhibition ison the rise. For instance, since 1997, the ETG has been successful in holdingnationwide or international large-scale exhibitions and expositions such as China SportShow, and National Sugar and Alcoholic Commodities Fair. Currently, some large andmedium-sized cities such as Wuhan, Kunming, and Qingdao have invited the group toshare the development model to their infrastructure. The city exhibition makes all efforts to establish its cultural brand. The developmentof city exhibition serves as an ideal arena for cultural interaction of ec nomies,technologies and cultures from home and abroad, which enriches people‘s life. Moreimportant, host cities also utilize the exhibition to brand and spread themselves. As aresult, exhibition will become a symbol of competitiveness and attraction. Exhibition alsooffers a platform for different cultures to learn from each other and gain experience. Cityexhibition is a cultural event in nature because it takes the form of exposition, employstechnologies as a means of presentation, and is supp rted by culture. Top priority ought to be given to quality, brand and features of city exhibitiondevelopment. Chengdu exhibition should lay great emphasis on regional and culturalcharacteristics, preferring “optional and special” features to “large and comprehensive”ones. “The crying obligation is how to take advantage of superior resources in Chengdu,so that certain exhibition items or events related to Chinese medicine, food, agricultureand consumer goods can be nurtured and established, for these items have striking andcompetitive edge. “ Currently, in the process of urbanization, city exhibition promotesnot only economy, but also city culture as well as citizens’ spiritual life on a deeperlevel. In conclusion, exhibition is a booster for the cultural development of a modemcity. ……
