Beijing, 8 Jan 2026 (ONA) — The
2026 Beijing Book Fair opened today, offering a series of activities to

digital publishing have taken center stage at the fair, with new technologies
like intelligent editing systems showcasing the industry’s digital
transformation.
The three-day book fair has
attracted more than 700 exhibitors and 2,700 booths, with three key highlights:
upgraded industry dialogue, expanded cultural and creative exhibition zones,
and enhanced technological empowerment.
The exhibition area for cross-border
cultural products has been significantly expanded, now encompassing 101 booths
– a notable increase of one-third compared to the previous book fair.
Engaging interactive experiences and
hands-on workshops, such as the traditional woodblock printing of Yangliuqing New
Year pictures – an intangible cultural heritage – along with trendy stationery
and collectibles, allow visitors to immerse themselves in unique cultural
activities.
