He says that he hopes more art events and projects will be held in Wuzhen, so that the town will not only be a tourist destination, but also a hub to help boost public aesthetic literacy and create a vibrant and inclusive environment.

The exhibition also marks the establishment of CAA Armory Wuzhen, a long-term project of the exhibition's two founders, that incorporates culture, art and tourism.

Zheng Jing, a professor from CAA and planner of the Walking the Environment project, says that the collaboration aims to explore how academic institutions could localize their research findings, and how to serve society on a wider scope through the tourism industry.
