It has become the largest cultural event and a unique attraction of Hechi, as well as an important platform for external exchange and cooperation.

It is also one of three major art festivals in Guangxi, along with the Nanning International Folk Song Art Festival and the Guilin Landscape Tourism Festival. In 2011, it was named one of the "Top 10 brand festivals in China."

This year's event is being held in Tian'e from April 17 to 19. It includes nine major themed activities, including the opening ceremony, an investment promotion conference, a mass cultural performance, an intangible cultural heritage exhibition, a folk song competition, an art exhibition, and a cultural and food experience exhibition.
