A series of intelligence-themed activities will be featured in the 2016 "Experience China” event that is set to open in Kazakhstan on Aug. 26. Taking place in the capital city Astana and the historic Alma-Ata this year, the event aims to further strengthen ties between China and Kazakhstan.

Three exhibition areas will be dedicated to showcasing how intelligent manufacturing has changed urban planning, industry and daily life in China, demonstrating China’s notions of innovative, coordinated, green, open and shared development. New construction materials, drones, new-energy vehicles and facial recognition technology are among the technologies to be displayed. Most are produced in China’s Chonqing Municipality.

As a co-host of the event, the Chonqing government also contributed a virtual reality video showcasing the region's landscape and natural scenery so that the Kazakh people can experience the sights for themselves.

Organized by the Information Office of the State Council, “Experience China” events have been hosted in over 40 countries including France, the U.S., Australia, Tanzania and Myanmar, presenting diverse perspectives on Chinese culture to foreign audiences since 1999.
