Culture is at the heart of urban development. It is not only a core element that contributes to Chengdu’s attractiveness, competitiveness, influence and soft power, but also an important driving force behind its innovation-driven development and economic transformation and upgrading.
Chengdu is currently utilizing culture so it can serve innovation, economic development, morale and brand building. It is set to evolve into an international metropolis of history and culture, and this international metropolis with a global vision and up to international standards will feature “the ancient Shu style”, promote “China’s image” and represent “international trends”. To this end, Chengdu has issued a series of programmatic documents such as the Action Plan for the Building of a Cultural Creation Center in Western China (2017-2022) and the Decisions on Promoting Chinese Civilization, Developing Tianfu Culture, and Accelerating the Building of a World-Famous City of Culture, according to which the media, creative design, modern fashion, music and art, cultural and sports tourism, information services, exhibition and advertising, and education consultation will be the eight key fields in the cultural creation industry.
As an important platform for cultural communications in Chengdu, the Chengdu Media Group is playing a leading role. It is passionately undertaking its mission, shouldering its responsibilities, and keeping its innovation spirits up to speed up the development of the cultural creation industry. The “Da Vinci in Chengdu” Global Light and Shadow Art Exhibition held by Eastern Suburb Memory is an attempt to build the “Three Cities & Capitals” and a world-famous city of culture and to integrate culture, commerce, tourism and sports. Tianfu culture characterized by “elegance and fashion” will serve as the guideline and Chengdu’s increased spending power regarding international fashion brands will be the goal in the drive to build an international fashion city and an international fashion commanding height up to high standards. The Eastern Suburb Memory Music Park will make a shift from a regional to an international park, from a music park to a fashion art industrial park, and from a traditional park to a smart ecological park.
A fashion industry commanding height built through further transformation and upgrading will offer much more in the future.
As an important vehicle for the “Three Cities & Capitals” and the only state-owned culture industrial park in Chengdu, Eastern Suburb Memory will further promote the transformation and upgrading of the Chengdu International Fashion Industrial Park after its establishment, highlight its orientation, move in the right direction, enhance the competitiveness of the industry, concentrate upscale international fashion art resources and high-grade talents, optimize the ecological environment of the cultural creation industry in Eastern Suburb Memory, and establish an international modern cultural creation industry system so that a commanding height in the fashion industry can eventually emerge to exert an impact on China and the world at large.

The International Fashion Industrial Park will step up its efforts in the following areas:
Industrial projects including the Star Drama Village, the Southwest-China Headquarters of Shenzhen Alliance Art Group and the Happy Doughnut have already commenced in the industrial park. The Star Drama Village project is expected to open three theaters to the public by the end of October 2019, which will be a powerful engine for the incubation of original local works of art and the education of talents engaged in original art. The Southwest-China Headquarters of Shenzhen Alliance Art Group will train large numbers of music talents for Chengdu through the introduction of teaching models, teaching courseware and music masters for the training of music talents, thus forming a complete industrial chain involving original music, music production, copyright trading, artist brokerage, music festival IP and international original music lists. The Happy Doughnut will enter the performing-arts center in September 2019 to stage regular performances and build the largest incubation base for original drama IP in West China, a drama training and experience center, a center for exchanges in drama culture, a music drama tribe, and hold drama culture theme exhibitions to roll out the drama-themed industry on a large scale.
In addition, the industrial park will also vigorously introduce world-renowned musical Cat, award-winning plays at the Edinburgh Drama Festival Andrew and Dorini and Reversing Gravity and other well-known works from home and abroad so as to continuously provide high-quality artistic feasts for the public and construct a commanding height in Chengdu for fashion culture consumption.
Meanwhile, the 2019 Chengdu International Sister Cities Youth Music Week and other major events will be held in the International Fashion Industrial Park. The “Chengdu International Sister Cities Youth Music Week” is sponsored by the Chengdu Municipal People’s Government and co-organized by the Foreign Affairs and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the Chengdu Municipal People’s Government, the Chenghua District People’s Government and the Chengdu Media Group. It is an influential youth music event featuring sister cities that lives up to international standards. At the end of July, the 2019 Chengdu International Sister Cities Youth Music Week will be held as scheduled. At that time, a special music performance will be held for the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. It will also seize the opportunity that comes with the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Russia to add a special China-Russia music performance and promote Tianfu culture to the world with the help of the new media.
The Chengdu Municipal People’s Government and the CPC Chengdu Municipal Committee are making great efforts to achieve the strategic goal of building “A World-Famous City of Culture” and “Three Cities and Capitals”. Eastern Suburb Memory will go on new missions and shoulder new responsibilities, upgrade services, strive to excel, and play a leading role so as to give further support to Chengdu’s cultural creation project that aims to build a world-famous city of culture and a world-famous city of cultural creation and enhance the core competitiveness of Chengdu’s cultural creation industry on the global industrial chain and value chain.
