1.       Cultural investment

The value of the five contracts for Sino-foreign cooperation on cultural investment is RMB 6.756 billion, accounting for 43% of the total. The sheer amount offers a peek into the diversified modes and momentum of such cooperation. The China-Russia international performance project, undertaken by Jinci International Performance (Beijing) Co., Ltd. and Russian National Circus Company, aims to bring Russian circus shows to China by the agency of Beijing Tianzhu Free Trade Zone and the National Base for International Culture Trade.

2.        Featured towns
