Shanxi International Trade Week to Be Held in August
The Shanxi provincial people's government will sponsor the 2001 Shanxi International Trade and Tour Week in the provincial capital of Taiyuan August 10-14. The fair is held every two years, according to the latest Beijing Review.
Building on the experience of previous fairs, the sponsors will attach importance to readjustment of the industrial structure, development of the tourist industry and the high-tech products show.
Different from the fairs of the past, this fair will focus on tourism. Rich in unique tourism resources, Shanxi Province has a long history and contains many relics ¡ªthere are more than 3,240 registered and protected relics in the province. The 450 wooden buildings of Yuan Dynasty (1206-1368) represent more than 70 percent of those remaining in China. So it is no wonder that Shanxi is honored as "China's ancient architecture museum" and¡°China's ancient arts treasury".
