The just-concluded exhibition, China Week: Creative Chengdu, showed the innovative side of China's culture industry at the art center of Seoul Hongik University. 

The event, running from May 29 to June 1, was among a series of cultural activities under the China Week: Inheritance and Innovation project to showcase the creative development of China's cultural sector, as well as to promote cultural exchanges between China and South Korea.
