Jining, renowned for its historical and cultural significance as the birthplace of Confucianism and the Grand Canal culture, is at the forefront of blending tradition with the digital economy. This approach has propelled the city to new heights in terms of cultural transformation and development.

From June 25 to 27, the World Internet Conference (WIC) Nishan Dialogue on Digital Civilization, a prestigious event organized by the People's Government of Shandong province and hosted by the WIC, is taking place in Qufu.

Based on the theme "The Age of AI: Building a Digital World of Exchanges, Mutual Learning, and Inclusiveness", this forum aims to foster a deeper understanding between civilizations and promote China's rich cultural heritage.

Jining has harnessed cutting-edge technologies such as mixed reality (MR), artificial intelligence, big data, computer vision, and acoustic technology in the Three Confucian Sites. By seamlessly integrating these advances with the region's historical and cultural content, Jining has elevated the tourist experience, creating a virtual world that mirrors the wonders of the actual site.

Through digital empowerment, Jining captivates visitors with its mesmerizing showcase of Chinese culture. This endeavor has played a pivotal role in promoting exchanges and mutual learning between civilizations.

As Jining cultivates Nishan's cultural resources and illuminates civilization digitally, the city's vibrant culture and the voice of China resonate throughout Shandong province, forging more connections with the world.
