Five Exhibition Halls Shine at the 3rd Northeast Book Expo

　　The 3rd Northeast Book Expo will be held from May 14 to May 18 in Halls 1–5 of the Changchun Agricultural Expo Park.
　　 
　　More than 300 exhibitors from across the country will gather at the event, including over 10 publishing groups, 17 city-level publishers, and more than 10 university presses spanning the four provinces and regions of Northeast China as well as Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and other provinces. Notably, the China Foreign Languages Publishing Administration will make its debut, bringing a vast selection of high-quality books — from timeless classics to trendy new releases, and from theoretical works to children’s picture books. Everything readers love is available under one roof, with special discounts to make books accessible to all.
　　The five exhibition halls are themed around "Ji Books, Ji Culture, Ji Places, Ji Literature, and Ji Creations," each with its own distinctive highlights. Hall 1 (Ji Books) and Hall 2 (Ji Culture) focus on book sales and reading promotions, featuring ongoing deals and events. Hall 3 (Ji Places) showcases cultural achievements from across the region, offering an intangible cultural heritage market and traditional Chinese medicine health consultations. Hall 4 (Ji Literature) and Hall 5 (Ji Creations) highlight the integration of technology and cultural creativity, featuring the first Northeast Asian Digital Cultural and Creative Model Art Exhibition and the "Jilin-1" satellite aerospace study tour — immersive experiences that bring culture and technology together.
　　 
　　More than 140 cultural events will take place during the expo, covering professional interviews, industry forums, reading promotions, study tours, and more.
　　The expo will also establish a citywide reading network comprising "1 main venue + 30 themed satellite venues + 50 community service points," linking bookstores across the three northeastern provinces and the adjacent region for coordinated sales and outreach. This initiative aims to extend public reading programs to the grassroots — bringing books into schools, neighborhoods, and villages, and bridging the "last mile" of reading services.
　　Mark your calendars for May 14 and come to Changchun for an unforgettable celebration of books and culture!
