Beijing News (Reporter Tian Jiexiong) "I have not been to the Thirteen Tombs yet, but I didn't expect that I could feel the charm of the Changping Thirteen Tombs Scenic Area so truly at the Service Trade Fair." The visitors sighed. Entering the Changping Cultural and Tourism Exhibition Area of the 2022 China International Service Trade Fair, the Ming Thirteen Tombs, who are already in their 600s, has debuted on the exhibition platform in a digital form for the first time. The interactive electronic digital display screen has attracted the attention of a large number of visitors for a while.

In addition to modern digital technology, on the other hand, the Grand Canal series of art works "Changping Baifuquan" is also on display for the first time. The meticulous paintings present the scene of local people celebrating temple fairs. It is reported that the painting of the work is 216 cm long and 199 cm wide. There are 78 animals and 474 characters in the painting. If you look carefully, these characters include opera singers, juggling, doing small business, and playing on the street... Each character has different expressions and costumes, and is quite realistic.
"Changping is an important heritage of canal culture. Tonghui River in the Yuan Dynasty was diverted from water in the Baifu Spring of Changping. Since the establishment of Yuan Dadu, there are not many related textual works, and people's understanding of the history and culture of the Yuan Dynasty are far from enough." Yu Hang, the author of "Changping Baifu Spring", is a native of Changping and is also the chairman of the Changping District Art Association. He mentioned that through paintings, people can intuitively feel the unique historical status and importance of Changping, and the creation of the Grand Canal series of art works can both excavate and inherit the Beijing Canal culture and the local culture of Changping.
Beijing News reporter learned that in this year's Trade Fair, a total of 35 cultural and tourism enterprises participated in the exhibition online in Changping Cultural and Tourism Special Exhibition Area, of which 18 enterprises participated offline at the same time. Offline exhibitors conducted on-site simulation interactions, "Chang Xiaoping" virtual meta-universe display, 3D naked eye device experience, cultural performance, etc. through high-tech means, which were popular among the audience.
In recent years, Changping District has deepened the integrated development of culture and tourism, vigorously cultivated new business forms for tourism development, and significantly improved its popularity, reputation and attractiveness. The relevant person in charge of Changping Exhibition District said that he hopes that through digital technology display, more people can understand the beautiful scenery and Changping culture, while attracting more people to visit Changping and promoting the integrated development of culture and tourism.
