The Taihu Expo Wuxi is indisputably one of the most significant events in Wuxi. The first instance of this groundbreaking fair was presented in 2003 featuring the concepts of ‘openness, cooperation and display’. The unique exhibition demonstrated Wuxi’s traditional qualities of civilization, progress, beauty and health.

This one of a kind event intends to promote and support the position of Wuxi as a hub for cultural tourism as well as enhancing its commercial and economic spheres. Various seminars are conducted discussing the possibilities for cultural tourism and commerce in the area with a special emphasis on the region’s natural and human resources. The Taihu Expo aims to give prominence to the region’s favourable trade and economic possibilities in order to attract investment and mutually beneficial partnerships with parties from across the world.

A major objective of Taihu Expo is to create a unique brand for the city which expresses its many inherent qualities and attractions.
