Beijing Book Fair Attracts Visitors
with Advanced Printing Technology

Beijing, 8 Jan 2026 (ONA) — The
2026 Beijing Book Fair opened today, offering a series of activities to
showcase modern digital publishing techniques. At one interactive display,
visitors can have the edges of their books adorned with intricate designs using
advanced printing techniques – a magical touch offered free of charge.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and
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.
