Guizhou province has invited hundreds of craftsmen, art buyers and companies from around the world to the 2016 China (Guizhou) International Folk Crafts and Cultural Products Expo, held in the Gui'an New Area from Sept 28 to Oct 2.

The 20,000-square-meter exhibition will display and sell arts and crafts, especially folk art and cultural heritage items from Guizhou, such as word carving and embroidery.

It is the second time the expo has been held in Guizhou, and before the opening ceremony got underway, guest dance performances from Mexico and Peru were staged.
