The 23rd China-ASEAN Expo has just ended in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, running from Sept. 17 to 21. The event has brought together the flavors, crafts and cultures of Southeast Asia and beyond. Xiu and I were able to attend this large event that was just a mile away from our home in Nanning.
The national pavilions are drawing crowds of curious visitors. On offer are Thai chocolates, Vietnamese civet coffee, Philippine coconut treats, Malaysian snacks, Indonesian batik, Cambodian pepper, Myanmar jadeite and Nepalese wool felt handicrafts.
These photos capture the expo's role as a platform for trade, cultural exchange and people-to-people connection.
第23届中国—东盟博览会刚刚在广西壮族自治区南宁落下帷幕，展会时间为9月17日至21日。此次活动汇聚了东南亚及其他地区的美食、手工艺和文化。我和秀有幸参加了这个离我们家南宁仅一英里的大型活动。
各国馆吸引了大量好奇的游客。展出的有泰国巧克力、越南麝香猫咖啡、菲律宾椰子零食、马来西亚小吃、印尼蜡染、柬埔寨胡椒、缅甸翡翠和尼泊尔羊毛毡手工艺品。
这些照片记录了博览会作为贸易、文化交流和民间互动平台的作用。
