The Xiamen Genshen Zhiye Cultural and Creative Industry Park, which is the world's largest "cow centre", is to open to the public in Xiamen in June.

The "cow centre", unique both domestically and internationally, is the most distinguished feature of the Xiamen Genshen Zhiye Cultural and Creative Industry Park. To make it the world's largest "cow centre", Xiamen Genshen Zhiye is investing about 6 million yuan to host the 2010 Xiamen International CowParade.

It's the first time for the Chinese mainland to host the international CowParade, which is expected to be a large-scale, successful, famous and far-reaching international public artistic event.

Currently, the creation of the "cows" is under way by artists from both sides of the Taiwan Straits. These "cows", which will be created in various artistic styles, will be on display on 8 April, according to Mr. Huang Jinqing, President of Xiamen Genshen Zhiye.

From 2011, Xiamen Genshen Zhiye plans to hold an annual "Cow Centre Festival" and update its "cows" constantly to make it a unique and creative "cow centre" in the world, as well as to make it a gilded card for Xiamen tourism to promote Chinese culture, reveals Mr. Huang.

After its opening in June, citizens will get fresh cultural experiences at the Xiamen Genshen Zhiye Cultural and Creative Industry Park. Citizens will not only be able to buy the latest domestic and international cultural and creative goods, but also can participate in interesting creative and interactive activities.

Of the cultural and creative goods, living goods of creative design from Taiwan will occupy 45%, the famous international and domestic cartoon flagship stores will occupy 15%, the cultural products of Fujian Province and its neighbouring areas will occupy 10%, and international cultural and creative products will occupy 30%.

The famous international and domestic cartoon flagship stores will be divided into four categories, ranging from derivative products, handicrafts, living goods of creative design and cartoon-related and video-related products.
