The "Youth Literary Creation in the Zhuhai-Hong Kong-Macao Area" was also launched that same day. The program was led by representative and influential young literary leaders who want to promote talent exchange, resources sharing, and deeply integrated development, according to Ashley Tse, founder of Hong Kong Youth Enlightenment and a member of the 12th Committee of All-China Youth Federation.

Progressing together on cultural creation was part of a larger goal jointly set by the Zhuhai Youth Federation, Hong Kong Youth Enlightenment, and Macao Youth Federation. They signed a Framework Agreement for Cooperation on the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Youth Voyage Plan on July 7. This punctuated not only cultural creation based on new media but also guidance on youth thinking, employment and entrepreneurship.

The events took place at Lets Cultural District in Qianshan of Xiangzhou District.
