The 2nd Chongqing Cultural Fair is set to officially open tomorrow, offering a unique blend of dynamic and static experiences. Two major themes have been introduced: the "TOP Animation Game Carnival" and the "Chongqing Home Furnishing Culture and Art Festival." These events aim to showcase both modern entertainment and traditional craftsmanship, drawing visitors from all over.
According to the event organizers, attendees will not only get to experience the thrill of driving karts for free but also witness an exclusive classic furniture exhibition valued at over 10 million yuan. This display features high-quality pieces from renowned mahogany and sinan wood brands across the country, highlighting the rich heritage of Chinese woodworking.
**Action: Free Kart Driving Experience**
The No. 68 Kart Club in Chongqing, one of the exhibitors at the TOP Anime Game Carnival, has brought a 1,200 square meter racing track to the N6 exhibition hall. Visitors can enjoy a free karting session, an opportunity that is rare in local anime events.
Chen Chaofei, the head of the kart club, explained that these karts are not like the typical bumper cars people are familiar with. The models are small, with a low floor just 4 cm above the ground, creating a sensation of speed that feels up to three times faster than the actual speed.
"Usually, a 7-minute kart ride costs around 110 yuan," Chen said. However, during the cultural fair, the experience is completely free. Attendees can simply scan the QR code provided on-site to register and enjoy up to three laps, experiencing the excitement of sharp turns and high-speed thrills.
In addition to the karts, the club will also showcase a Mercedes-Benz SLS sports car themed around "Transformers," decorated with anime characters and images, adding a special touch to the event.
**Jing: First-Time Debut of the Classical Furniture Exhibition**
As a key component of the 2013 Chongqing Home Furnishing Culture and Art Consumption Festival, the Classical Furniture Exhibition will make its debut in the N4 pavilion of the Cultural Fair. The exhibition will feature a wide range of mahogany furniture, spanning over 2,500 square meters, with participation from more than 10 nationally renowned mahogany furniture companies.
Visitors will see exquisite pieces made from rare woods such as Huanghua pear, red rosewood, red sandalwood, and gloomy wood, as well as golden nanmu. To enhance the cultural experience, a special mahogany culture salon will be set up, where guests can enjoy tea, music, and learn about the deep-rooted traditions of mahogany craftsmanship.
Chen Qinghuai, General Manager of Huixiange Redwood Classical Furniture Co., Ltd., one of the leading mahogany brands in the country, stated that the exhibition will showcase high-end furniture made from premium materials like red rosewood and rosewood. "Our goal is to promote and publicize mahogany culture. We will present nearly 20 million yuan worth of mahogany furniture, including three sets of circle chairs valued at over 400,000 yuan."
In addition to mahogany, another highlight of the event is Phoebe chinensis, a rare and valuable wood known for its warmth and calming properties. A Chongqing-based company, the only one specializing in this wood, will display a four-piece set of Phoebe nanmu worth 1.6 million yuan, along with various sculptures and handicrafts.
Jiang Shang, the company’s representative, emphasized that Phoebe chinensis has been historically considered a royal wood and holds significant medicinal value. "It ranks among the top sawn timbers in the market, with immense economic and cultural significance."
As one of the few companies in the city focused on Phoebe chinensis, Jiang revealed that many collectors are drawn to the unique beauty of the wood. "Currently, 30% of our customers are collectors, and 40% of them purchase items for collection purposes. I hope more people will come to the fair and learn about the charm of Phoebe chinensis."
