HUHHOT, China, Oct. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The third Yili Cultural Diversity Week successfully concluded on October 24, 2025. Themed "Hearts in Harmony, Futures in Symphony," the event forged a global cultural bond through a series of innovative activities. These included a multilingual virtual chorus of the company anthem, a cross-time-zone photography contest offering diverse glimpses into local contexts, and interactive sessions exploring different cultural traditions — all designed to strengthen connections among employees across continents. Via music and imagery, the event not only conveyed the emotional power of cultural harmony but also drove team cohesion and cross-regional collaboration.
Cultural Diversity and Inclusion Energizes Organizational Momentum and Injects Fresh Vitality into Yili’s Global Expansion
As a dairy player that ranks among the world's top five and leads Asia for 12 consecutive years, Yili has established a production, R&D, and sales network spanning over 60 countries and regions. In its global expansion, Yili recognizes cultural diversity and inclusion as a cornerstone for corporate sustainability. In 2020, the company upgraded its corporate culture to version 5.0, integrating "Respect" into its core values alongside "Excellence, Accountability, Innovation, and Win-Win" to foster a globally inclusive environment.
Guided by the core value of "Respect," Yili has systematically advanced localization in overseas markets. This is achieved by enhancing organizational vitality through employee care, workplace improvement, and shared cultural activities, as well as pursuing deeper social acceptance through proactive engagement in local customs and community welfare programs. The corporate culture has thus evolved beyond a "soft narrative" for internal management to become a "hard power" that drives efficient operations and regional market expansion.
This cultural strategy has yielded tangible results across Yili's overseas operations. In Thailand, the local subsidiary has secured recognition from the country's Ministry of Labour for three consecutive years for stable and harmonious labor relations. In Indonesia, through charity events like "Help Millions of Children Realize Dreams" and deep localization efforts, Yili stands as the only Chinese enterprise honored with a Special Award for Bisnis Indonesia Corporate Social Responsibility Awards (BISRA). The New Zealand subsidiary has received multiple awards such as the Great Workplace Award and the Award for Investment Between China and New Zealand, establishing a benchmark for cross-cultural cooperation. These have boosted Yili's global reputation and built trust for its further expansion.
By advancing cultural diversity and inclusion, Yili is transforming cultural consensus into corporate vitality and shared values into business momentum, thereby reinforcing its global competitiveness. While continuing developing products that meet global consumers' expectations for a healthier life, Yili uses culture as a bridge to explore a sustainable path for "going global" and "growing locally." This path offers a replicable model for Chinese brands on their global journeys.

TOKYO, Oct. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On October 24, 2025, the special program "The Blue Economy in African Nations: Views from Japan" was broadcast on NHK World. Covering topics from food security and fisheries modernization to job creation and resource management, this program explores the potential for countries in Africa and Japan to work together to realize a sustainable Blue Economy.
Watch here: https://youtu.be/gzSL3TMPmZA
Program website: https://biz.jibtv.com/programs/the_blue_economy_in_african_nations/index.html
The 9th Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9), held in August 2025, served as a platform for dialogue between African nations and the Japanese government. During the conference, the Blue Economy — an economic model that balances economic growth, job creation, and environmental conservation while utilizing marine resources in a sustainable manner — was officially recognized and discussed.
As 34 of the 54 countries in Africa have coastal or island areas, with total coastlines stretching over 30,000 kilometers, marine resources and fisheries hold significant potential for enhancing food security, improving food supply and nutrition, creating jobs, and strengthening local industries. At the same time, the sustainability of marine resources is threatened by overfishing, illegal operations, habitat degradation, and the impacts of climate change.
This program takes a close look at how the African continent, which is facing a food security crisis due to rapid population growth and the effects of climate change, is trying to open the door to a future in which it can overcome these challenges and achieve further development with the key of the Blue Economy. The program also conveys the message that Japan, as a maritime nation, is committed to working closely with countries in Africa to realize a sustainable Blue Economy.
This program is the second in a series focusing on the Blue Economy. The first program, "Blue Economy in the Ocean Super Year 2025: Views from Japan," was broadcast in August. Dr. Atsushi Sunami, president of the Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF) — a Japanese foundation that aims to "realize a peaceful world through the ocean" — acts as commentator, and the MC is Jackie Enzmann, English Chief Editor at SPF.
About the Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF):
The Sasakawa Peace Foundation, a Japanese "Think, Do, and Innovate-Tank" established in 1986, has worked since its inception to enhance international exchange and cooperation.

Lemonilo officially launches "Family Happy Day" as an annual celebration every September 23, reminding families that a Happy Mom is the foundation of a healthy and harmonious family.
Nikita Willy is introduced as the Brand Ambassador of Lemonilo, sharing her personal story about the challenges of motherhood and the importance of simple me-time moments with healthy snacks.

JAKARTA, Indonesia, Oct. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lemonilo officially launched "Family Happy Day", a special celebration dedicated to cherishing togetherness that strengthens family happiness. Carrying the theme "Happy Mom, Happy Family", this special day highlights that a mother's happiness is the foundation of a healthy and harmonious family.

Co-CEO of Lemonilo, Shinta Nurfauzia, said: "Today marks a simple yet meaningful symbol to remind Indonesian families to always create space for mothers' happiness. We want Family Happy Day to be a reminder that a mother's happiness deserves to be celebrated. Starting this year, every September 23 will be recognized as Family Happy Day, at least here in Indonesia."
As part of the celebration, Lemonilo also introduced Nikita Willy as the Brand Ambassador of Lemonilo Brownies Crispy. "Nikita Willy is an inspiring young mother who openly shares her struggles in motherhood, yet continues to maintain a positive spirit that aligns perfectly with our initiative," Shinta added.
Through the launch of "Family Happy Day", Lemonilo aims to be a trusted companion for Indonesian families in celebrating mothers' happiness, while reinforcing its commitment to healthier snacking. "Lemonilo Brownies Crispy comes with the tagline 'The Crispy Brownies that Bring You Joy' and is free from preservatives, artificial sweeteners, and synthetic coloring—making it a safe choice for families," Shinta explained.
Meanwhile, Co-CEO of Lemonilo, Ronald Widjaja, emphasized the pivotal role of mothers in creating a warm and nurturing family atmosphere. "A happy mom creates a happier family. When mothers feel valued, supported, and have time for themselves, the whole family benefits from that positive energy. For me, my wife's happiness is the key to a warm household environment," Ronald said.

At the "Family Happy Day" event, Nikita Willy, who was introduced as the Brand Ambassador of Lemonilo Brownies Crispy, shared her experience of stepping into the role of motherhood.
She described being a mother as a blessing, though one that comes with challenges. "Motherhood is not easy. There's fatigue, there are challenges, especially with many unexpected situations—and that's normal. We're all human. I've also felt overwhelmed, but I've learned that taking care of mental health and making time for myself is very important," said Nikita.
For Nikita, me-time doesn't have to be luxurious. Even a small pause for herself, like enjoying a delicious yet healthier snack, can make a difference. "Sometimes, just sitting down for a moment while snacking on Lemonilo Brownies Crispy helps me feel calmer. It's not just a snack, but a little reminder that mothers deserve happiness too," she added.
Family Psychologist, Samanta Elsener emphasized that a mother's mental health greatly affects the overall family atmosphere. A happy mother who feels supported can spread positive energy to both children and her partner. "Research shows that a mother's mood can influence her child, meaning a mother's happiness directly impacts the child's emotional development," Samanta explained.
She also noted that me-time is not selfish, but a form of self-care that allows mothers to recharge. Simple activities can help reduce stress. "Mothers who regularly take time for themselves become more resilient in facing daily challenges," said Samanta.
According to her, a mother's happiness cannot stand alone—it needs family support. Even small gestures from a husband can mean a lot. "A supportive father who is willing to share responsibilities plays a crucial role in maintaining a mother's mental well-being. Families that support each other are stronger in overcoming challenges," Samanta concluded.

ABU DHABI, UAE, Oct. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi will open to the public on 22 November in Saadiyat Cultural District, marking a significant cultural milestone for the emirate. As the largest museum of its kind in the region, it represents a new global destination for science, nature, and education, inviting visitors to explore the story of life on our planet and engage in conversations about its future.
Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi to Open in Saadiyat Cultural District on 22 November
The 35,000-square-metre museum is an exciting addition to the UAE's evolving cultural landscape. It takes visitors on an immersive journey through 13.8 billion years of natural history – from the Big Bang and the formation of our solar system to the evolution of life, including the rise and fall of dinosaurs and the extraordinary biodiversity of our planet.
Among the highlights of the museum are three travellers from deep time. One is the famed specimen affectionately known as Stan, a nearly complete skeleton of a mighty Tyrannosaurus rex, an apex predator which ruled the Earth 67 million years ago. It is joined by the largest animal ever known, represented by a magnificent, 25-metre female blue whale specimen, offering extraordinary insight into evolution, marine biodiversity, and the planet's ongoing story of life. Completing the trio is the Murchison Meteorite – an artefact that witnessed the formation of our planet and contains 7-billion-year-old grains formed even before our Solar System.
H.E. Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, said: "The opening of the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi marks a major milestone in our journey to shape the emirate's cultural landscape. The museum offers an immersive look at the story of life on Earth, framed for the first time through an Arabian lens, with the fauna, flora, and geological history of the region forming a prominent part of the visitor journey. The museum's research and educational institution supports scientific knowledge and undertakes innovative scientific studies in zoology, palaeontology, marine biology, molecular research and earth sciences. By fostering engagement with the natural sciences, the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi inspires future generations and contributes to a more sustainable future."
Across the galleries, the natural history of the Arabian Peninsula forms a central part of the museum's narrative, highlighting the region's unique contribution to Earth's story. Among the most remarkable discoveries found in Abu Dhabi is an extinct species of elephant known as Stegotetrabelodon emiratus. This ancient member of the Elephantidae family was distinguished by tusks in both its upper and lower jaws — a rare trait unseen in modern elephants.
The museum joins a community of institutions including Louvre Abu Dhabi, teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi, and the upcoming Zayed National Museum and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi.

REUS, Spain, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading health researchers from around the world have identified new priorities and directions in nut and dried fruit research, highlighting the growing body of evidence linking their consumption to improved metabolic health, cardiovascular health, fertility, the immune system, bone health, and brain function. The experts also explored emerging findings on the gut microbiome and biomarkers of nut consumption.
These findings emerged from the NUTS 2025 conference, held on October 9–10, 2025, and hosted by the International Nut and Dried Fruit Council (INC). The event was organized by Rovira i Virgili University, the Pere Virgili Institute of Health Research, and CIBERobn, and chaired by Prof. Jordi Salas-Salvadó, Chairman of the World Forum for Nutrition Research and Dissemination.
The experts presented the latest research on nuts and dried fruit in relation to the main health challenges faced by the population, as well as possible underlying mechanisms.
During the event, an update of the NUTPOOL study, funded by the INC, was presented. This global initiative combines data from around one million individuals from different cohorts to strengthen the scientific evidence on the health benefits of nut consumption. Discussions also explored the pathway to obtaining a health claim for nuts in the United States as the initial priority, with plans to later expand efforts to other regions.
Looking ahead, researchers identified diabetes prevention as the top priority for future research, followed by cognitive function and gut microbiota. In this context and given the existing scientific evidence suggesting that nuts may have effects on glucose metabolism, a potential international multicenter trial was proposed to explore the benefits of nut consumption in diabetes prevention. A study of this kind would be pivotal in enabling the modification of official dietary guidelines from scientific societies and public health institutions to recommend nut consumption not only for cardiovascular benefits but also for diabetes prevention. This would also support obtaining an official health claim.
"This international meeting brought together 28 top researchers from across the globe to review what we know about nuts and dried fruit — and, crucially, to define where the science needs to go next," said Prof. Jordi Salas-Salvadó.
Goretti Guasch, Executive Director of the INC, added: "Nutrition research is at the core of the INC's mission. Strengthening the scientific evidence on the health benefits of nuts is essential to promoting their consumption worldwide."

They also took part in special activities like the Ceramic Expo parade and gained hands-on experience in traditional ceramic techniques, including blue-and-white painting and wheel-throwing.

The participants moved between theoretical sessions and creative cultural markets, immersing themselves in the profound heritage of ceramic culture while experiencing the city's open spirit and dynamic modern vitality.
The camp left a deep impression on the international youth. Tatiana, an international student from Russia, shared her excitement: "Everything starts from here.

It's beneficial for our development."
Chen Meng, Dean of the School of Humanities at Jingdezhen University&Jingdezhen International Silk Road College, emphasized the global significance of the event: "Ceramic art is not only a treasure of China but also a cultural heritage of the world.

Through ceramics as a medium, the event connected diverse civilizations with "craftsmanship", fostering cultural understanding and emotional resonance among international youth. It has established yet another significant platform for promoting civilizational exchange and deepening people-to-people connections, leaving a lasting impact on all participants and reinforcing Jingdezhen's role as a bridge for global cultural dialogue.
HANGZHOU, China, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The sub-forum "Passing the Torch: Expansion of Museums Functions and Revitalization of Cultural Heritage", held under the framework of the third Liangzhu Forum, took place in Hangzhou on October 19. Jointly hosted by China's Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the National Cultural Heritage Administration, and the Zhejiang Provincial People's Government, the event was organized by National Museum of China and China National Silk Museum.

Speech of Nang Lao Ngin (lAMS Deputy President, Director of National Museum of Myanmar)
In his remarks, Vice Minister Gao highlighted the essential contribution of museums to safeguarding and transmitting the heritage of human civilization. He emphasized the importance of further enhancing international cooperation among museums, upholding the spirit of the Silk Road, and promoting mutual understanding and youth development, contributing to the building of a community with a shared future for humankind.

The day concluded with a "Silk Road Museum Evening" cultural exchange event, providing an informal platform for dialogue and networking among participants.
Tianshan Salmon Leaps onto the International Stage, Tianyun Quality Illuminates a New Chapter in China-Singapore Culinary Exchange
SINGAPORE, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Amidst the glittering lights of Singapore, the "Convergence of Flavours, Meet at the Sands" Xinjiang Nileke Salmon Tasting Gourmet Festival & Tianshan Trout Feast opening event was grandly held at the Rise Restaurant in Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. This was not only the international debut of salmon originating from the glacial meltwaters of the Tianshan Mountains, traversing 4,500 kilometers, but also a sensory feast blending cultural performances and gourmet tasting, marking a milestone step for Chinese high-end agricultural products on the path of internationalization.
A Culinary and Cultural Feast Spanning Mountains and Seas
The banquet officially commenced around 6:00 PM at the Rise Restaurant, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. Representatives from the political and business circles of China and Singapore, culinary elites, media figures, and food critics gathered together. Accompanied by Xinjiang-style welcome drinks and specialty snacks, they eagerly anticipated this gustatory journey connecting the Tianshan Mountains and Southeast Asia.
At 6:30 PM, as the lights gently focused, the host opened the proceedings with the poetic words: "The Tianshan glaciers, carving clarity over a thousand days and nights; the shores of Singapore, awaiting the encounter with eternal tides." Ms. Zhang Yuru, Vice General Manager of Xinjiang Tianyun Organic Agriculture Co., Ltd., was the first to take the stage to deliver her address. She expressed with emotion, "Presenting our product in Singapore is the realization of Tianyun's founding dream: 'to produce world-class fish'."
The banquet proceeded in a climactic atmosphere. Guests of honour raised their glasses together, their gestures shining brightly under the lights, officially marking the opening of the Xinjiang Nileke Salmon Gourmet Festival. Subsequently, a passionate performance of Xinjiang ethnic dance elevated the atmosphere, as dancers moved among the guests, inviting them to indulge freely in the buffet feast centered around salmon. The host moved between the food stations, with real-time displays on large screens showcasing the creative salmon dishes meticulously prepared by the Executive Chefs of Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. Detailed explanations of the ingredient origins and culinary philosophy drew waves of admiration.
Towards the end of the banquet, the organizers exchanged greetings and respect with the chef team, paying tribute to these unsung heroes who transformed ingredients into art.
World-Class Fish Nurtured by Tianshan Glacial Waters
The salmon served at this event comes from the pristine waters of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang. The cold, pure glacial meltwater, with an annual average temperature of around 12°C, gives the Tianyun salmon its characteristically firm, springy, tender, clean, and subtly sweet flesh – a unique texture highly praised by international chefs.
Mr. Eric Neo, Honorary President of the Singapore Chefs' Association, noted, "The combination of this salmon with Southeast Asian spices is truly stunning. We are experimenting with incorporating it into local specialty cuisines." Behind this acclaim lies Tianyun Salmon's ultimate pursuit of quality. They are raised at the ecological salmon farming base in Kalasu Village, Nileke County, on the northern slopes of the Tianshan Mountains. The water source is pure glacial snowmelt, maintaining an average annual temperature of around 12°C, endowing Xinjiang Tianyun Salmon with its unique texture: firm, springy, tender, clean, and subtly sweet.
"What we deliver is not just a salmon, but a promise of safe, healthy, and traceable quality from Xinjiang, China," emphasized Ms. Zhang Yuru in her speech. Tianyun Company has introduced internationally top-tier intelligent breeding and processing systems and has successively obtained multiple authoritative domestic and international certifications such as BRCGS, IFS, and Antibiotic-Free product certification, establishing a transparent, full-chain traceability system from source to table.
Quality Gains High Recognition in the International Market
In interviews prior to the event, numerous Singaporean hotel executive chefs and procurement heads spoke highly of Tianyun salmon. Sky Lee, Secretary-General of the Singapore Chefs Association (Chinese Cuisine), noted its suitability "particularly for sashimi and low-temperature cooking," while Eric Neo, Honorary President of the Singapore Chefs Association, praised its potential for fusion with Southeast Asian spices.
Chris Tan, Principal of SONGLILAI trading enterprise, further stated, "The full-chain traceability system and international certifications provide us with a foundation of trust. We are optimistic about the potential of this product in the Singapore and Southeast Asian markets, especially among high-end customer groups who value ingredient provenance and sustainability."
This trust is precisely the core reason for Tianyun salmon's successful entry into the international high-end market. Shifting from being "price-driven" to being "trust-driven," Tianyun, with the dual guarantees of "transparent traceability + international certification," has set a "benchmark of trust" for the global expansion of Chinese agricultural brands.
From Product Export to Global Expansion of Brand Value
"We look forward to a future where gourmet lovers worldwide, when thinking of high-quality salmon, will think of Nileke from Xinjiang, China!" expressed Ms. Zhang Yuru while sharing her vision for the future during the dinner.
Through its brand narrative combining "terroir scarcity + technological modernity + cultural resonance," Tianyun Salmon has completed the industrial leap from "product" to "brand."
A representative from the Chinese Embassy in Singapore noted in their address that this event was "a vivid practice of high-quality joint efforts under the Belt and Road Initiative between China and Singapore," and expressed hope that Xinjiang Salmon would become a link "promoting more high-quality agricultural products from Xinjiang to 'swim' along the Belt and Road to the world."
Setting a New Benchmark for Chinese Agriculture's Internationalization
Tianyun salmon's "ice-breaking journey" shatters traditional perceptions of "land-based seafood farming," proving that inland regions can fully utilize their unique ecological advantages combined with technological innovation to create high-end agricultural products with international competitiveness.
From "breaking the ice" to "spreading like wildfire," the success of Tianyun salmon injects strong confidence into the internationalization of Chinese agriculture. It confirms that as long as quality is upheld, trust is built, and stories are well told, China's "gifts of nature" and "crafted flavors" are fully capable of standing on the world's top stages.

BRISBANE, Australia, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Allianz Partners is urging Australian travellers to rethink their approach to travel insurance, following new ICA and DFAT research revealing that one in seven travellers are still going overseas uninsured. The findings underscore Allianz Partners' ongoing commitment to helping Australians when things go wrong overseas.
"It is concerning that those travellers who might decide against purchasing insurance are doing so because they think a destination is safe, because this doesn't give consideration to accidents, medical emergencies and travel interruptions that can be very costly if travelling without insurance," said Damien Arthur, Executive Head of Travel at Allianz Partners Australia.
Despite growing awareness of travel risks, misconceptions persist about the value of coverage. Two-thirds (65%) of uninsured travellers said they had consciously chosen to forgo coverage, citing beliefs that their destination was safe (31%), that insurance was poor value (27%), or that they could handle emergencies themselves (22%).
The survey found Australians under 30 and those born overseas were significantly more likely to travel uninsured, with 23% of both groups reporting they did not purchase travel insurance on their last trip. Travellers visiting friends, relatives, or returning to their home country were also more likely to skip coverage, often citing short trips or familiarity with their destination.
"The reality is nobody plans for things to go wrong," added Mr Arthur. "Even in destinations considered safe, such as Japan, medical emergencies can result in claims worth tens of thousands of dollars, covering hospital care, extended accommodation, and repatriation."
 
When Jason and Melissa took their family of five for a two-week ski holiday in Japan, things took a turn for the worse when Melissa fell gravely ill. What began as a headache ended up with her fighting for her life in a Japanese hospital. Our team supported her throughout her treatment in Japan and ensured she returned home safely to her family.
For traveller Melissa Borody, the benefits were clear: "When I suddenly became seriously ill during a family ski trip in Japan, having Allianz there made all the difference as it came out of nowhere. Their team supported my husband and me at every step, explained what was happening, and gave us the confidence that we were being properly looked after."
Allianz Partners remains committed to helping Australians travel with confidence, backed by insights that highlight the importance of being protected wherever their journey takes them.

CHEONGJU, South Korea, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Administrative and cultural experts from around the world will gather in Cheongju, a city in the Republic of Korea that is currently hosts the Cheongju Craft Biennale 2025 .
The Cheongju Craft Biennale Organizing Committee (Chairman: Cheongju Mayor Beomseok Lee; hereinafter referred to as the Biennale) announced that it will host the World Craft Expert Forum at 10 a.m. on October 30, 2025 (Thu) at Culture Factory.

It will also serve as a global networking event attended by more than 50 experts representing delegations from 12 countries, including Australia, China, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Kazakhstan.
More specifically, key visitors from Central Asia, such as the Mayor of Kokand, Uzbekistan and the Deputy Mayor of Taraz, Kazakhstan, are among the delegations to make a field visit to Cheongju, a successful case of urban regeneration and branding focused on craft, and to incorporate lessons learned from Cheongju into their own urban policies.
This forum features the theme of "Crafting Cities, Weaving a Shared Future" and shares cases of experiential economies focused on craft around the world, while studying the case of Cheongju, which has sought urban development based on craft and culture as a driving force. The forum will also reflect on the Cheongju Craft Biennale 2025, which runs until November 2, and discuss the current state and future direction of contemporary craft. Participants will also visit Cheongju University to explore ways to foster a cooperative relationship between local governments and universities.

This forum, where city administrative leaders and cultural experts around the world will come together to discuss solidarity, cooperation, and shared growth for global craft cities, will be held from October 30 (Thu) to October 31 (Fri), 2025 at Culture Factory in Cheongju, the Republic of Korea, where the 2025 Cheongju Craft Biennale currently takes place.
XI'AN, China, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This is a news release from the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism: On the evening of October 16, 2025, the curtain rose on the 11th Silk Road International Arts Festival at the Xi'an Performing Art Center. As the historic starting point of the ancient Silk Road, Xi'an once again became a vibrant cultural crossroads, where East meets West and art serves as a bridge of shared understanding.
Hosted by the People's Government of Shaanxi Province and organized by the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, the Xi'an Municipal Government, and the Qujiang New District Administrative Committee, the festival will run until November 9, lasting 25 days. This year's event continues its founding mission as a grand gathering of Silk Road arts, a bridge of mutual understanding, and a festival for the people.
The festival opened with a spectacular large-scale national orchestral concert "Silk Road Chang'an," conducted by renowned maestro Zhang Lie. From the dialogue of twin huqin to the vibrant resonance of diverse ethnic instruments and a powerful choral finale, "Silk Road Chang'an" captured both the grandeur of Xi'an's open spirit and the modern vision of a shared human destiny.
The Stage Art Showcase forms the core of the festival, featuring 34 domestic and international productions across genres including concerts, dramas, dance dramas, musicals, and traditional Chinese opera, staged in over ten venues throughout Shaanxi.
The "Today's Silk Road International Art Exhibition", held at the Shaanxi Art Museum from October 18 to November 2, stands as a major highlight. Featuring 470 works from 79 countries and regions, the exhibition spans painting, sculpture, and installation art, vividly reflecting the creative vitality of nations along the Silk Road.
From October 25 to November 9, the "Doll's House Street Puppet Parade" will animate Xi'an's cultural landmarks such as the Grand Tang Mall and the Xi'an City Wall, featuring immersive performances from Chinese and French troupes.
As the melodies of "Silk Road Chang'an" echo through Xi'an, Shaanxi, a new chapter unfolds — one where art transcends borders and the spirit of the Silk Road continues to shine across the world.

DINOSAURS | EXTINCTIONS | US finally arrives with 400 million years of Earth's history, rare fossils and a spectacular 40-metre-long dinosaur
SINGAPORE, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The wait is nearly over. Science Centre Singapore, in collaboration with the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, Faculty of Science, at the National University of Singapore, is thrilled to unveil DINOSAURS | EXTINCTIONS | US. This spectacular showcase spans 3,000 square metres and brings together two world class exhibitions—Dinosaurs of Patagonia and Six Extinctions—by Museo Paleontológico Egidio Feruglio and Gondwana Studios, respectively. Featuring more than 90 captivating artefacts, including 33 rare fossils and 60 full-scale models, this marks the Centre's largest dinosaur showcase to date. Through the exhibition, guests will discover how life on Earth survived its greatest challenges across 400 million years of evolution.
Key Highlights
Come face to face with a breathtaking full-scale cast of the Patagotitan mayorum, one of the largest dinosaurs ever discovered. Stretching 40 metres long and weighing approximately 57 tonnes, this colossal titan represents one of the most significant paleontological discoveries of recent decades. Unearthed in Argentina's Chubut Province in 2014, it remains the most complete skeleton of its kind ever found, reshaping our understanding of dinosaur size.
Encounter the fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex known as "Scotty". At 13 metres long, this awe-inspiring full-scale cast showcases the largest Tyrannosaurus rex specimen ever discovered. This prehistoric predator dominated the ancient landscape with its massive frame and bone-crushing bite and will offer guests an unforgettable glimpse into the apex of dinosaur evolution and the dramatic mass extinctions that shaped our planet's history.
Bringing the theme of extinction closer to home, the exhibition spotlights Singapore's own biodiversity challenges. Curated by the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, this poignant section reveals once-extant native species that are now locally extinct and showcases the measures being employed to safeguard today's remaining species.
The world's largest living woodpecker species, the great slaty woodpecker (Mulleripicus pulverulentus), once called Singapore home, with historical records showing it successfully bred here. However, the species disappeared as development claimed the large old-growth trees essential for its nesting and foraging. Today, occasional sightings occur, though these magnificent birds are likely vagrants from neighbouring Malaysia rather than residents. Featured within DINOSAURS | EXTINCTIONS | US, this poignant story underscores how habitat loss has driven extinctions in modern times, while giving guests an opportunity to view this elusive species up-close.
Interactive adventures await guests throughout the exhibition, offering hands-on fun for all ages. Guests can test their power against mighty dinosaurs in the Test Your Strength challenge. Curious minds can also reimagine prehistoric creatures at Imagine Dinosaurs by adding muscles, textures, colours to dinosaur skeletons, while Digital Fossil Dig will deliver the thrill of excavation through a timed touchscreen challenge that mimics real fossil hunting. Along the way, guests can collect stamps at stamping stations throughout the exhibition, gradually unveiling a vibrant prehistoric scene.
"DINOSAURS | EXTINCTIONS | US represents far more than a showcase of prehistoric life. It is a powerful narrative about survival, a call to examine Earth's deep history and consider our role in shaping what comes next. Through stunning fossils and immersive experiences, we strive to kindle fascination and encourage decisive action in response to our modern biodiversity emergency. This marks our biggest dinosaur exhibition to date, and we are honoured to collaborate with the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum in crafting a premier STEM experience for all," said Ms Tham Mun See, Chief Executive of the Science Centre Board.
"Dinosaurs and past mass extinctions carry compelling messages of global magnitude. At the same time, the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum brings a uniquely Singaporean perspective to DINOSAURS | EXTINCTIONS | US, highlighting native species we have lost in the current Sixth Mass Extinction in which humans are both part of the cause and part of the solution. By highlighting cutting-edge research methods used to study specimens in our collections and trace past extinction events, we showcase science-based approaches that can inform the prevention of future biodiversity loss—and shine a light on Singapore's efforts in this area. This partnership with Science Centre Singapore allows us to amplify the Museum's education and outreach, making the science of extinction and conservation more relatable, and more urgent, for all Singaporeans," said Associate Professor Darren Yeo, Head of Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum.
"Each fossil tells a story of discovery and perseverance. Through Dinosaurs of Patagonia, which is featured within DINOSAURS | EXTINCTIONS | US, we invite the world to explore how science connects us to our past — and to the planet we share. Presented internationally by Akrom Pty Ltd (Australia), Dinosaurs of Patagonia celebrates decades of Museo Paleontológico Egidio Feruglio's pioneering research and scientific leadership, sharing the legacy of Argentine palaeontology with audiences around the world," said Dr. Rubén Cúneo, Director, Museo Paleontológico Egidio Feruglio.
"As part of DINOSAURS | EXTINCTIONS | US, Six Extinctions will take visitors on a journey through Earth's most dramatic moments of change, moments that wiped out most life yet ultimately shaped the planet we know today. By exploring the causes and consequences of the five great mass extinctions, and our own role in the ongoing sixth, the exhibition connects the past to the present day, showing that extinction is both a story of loss and renewal. With a large collection of rare fossils, models, dinosaur skeletons and science-based storytelling, we invite visitors to reflect on humanity's impact, and our power to influence what survives next," said Peter Norton, Director, Gondwana Studios.

As TUMI concludes its milestone 50th-anniversary year, the brand celebrates its legacy through a striking palette of Black and TUMI Red—its signature Pantone, an enduring symbol of strength and purpose. Featured across some of the brand's most iconic pieces within the Alpha, Alpha Bravo, Voyageur, and 19 Degree Aluminum collections, these colors celebrate TUMI's heritage while signaling its continued evolution: bold, resilient, and built for the journey ahead.
The Red and Black colorway is featured across some of TUMI's most iconic pieces, reimagined for the season with refined detailing and a vibrant sense of style. Highlights include the Celina Backpack, Celina Mini Backpack, Dey Trunk Crossbody, Just In Case™ Tote, Double Expansion Satchel, Packable Backpack, and Essential Tote—each reflecting TUMI's meticulous attention to detail and commitment to functional beauty, designed to travel beautifully and last well beyond the holidays.
Continuing the celebration of craftsmanship, the 19 Degree Aluminum collection offers a premium gifting assortment that embodies timeless design and enduring sophistication. From the International Carry-On to Cigar Case, Sunglass Case, and Compact Mirror, each piece reflects TUMI's pursuit of precision and beauty —crafted for those who appreciate art and design in equal measure.
Coming soon from the world of 19 Degree, the 19 Degree Aluminum Bar Set is a luxurious gift for those of discerning taste, extending TUMI's iconic 19 Degree design code into meaningful moments at home. Thoughtfully crafted for the modern host, the sculpted aluminum set includes everything needed to craft the perfect cocktail—complete with custom TUMI recipe cards—and reflects the brand's mission to meet its customers at every point in their journey.
"During the holidays, I love finding gifts that bring genuine joy and purpose to the people in my life," said Victor Sanz, TUMI's Creative Director. "The best gifts fit seamlessly into everyday life—accompanying you from work to travel to home—and are as meaningful to give as they are to use long after the season ends."
For him, the Arrivé collection offers standout designs like the Barker Large Backpack and Larson Medium Backpack, defined by polished carbon-fiber detailing and automotive-inspired precision. Complementing these are artisanal leather styles from the Harrison collection—such as the Gregory Sling, Warren, and Griffen Flap Backpacks in Burnished Wine Ombré, a hand-finished technique that gives each piece its own tonal depth and character. The assortment also includes timeless accessories crafted for those who value style and everyday versatility.
For her, the Olas collection captures a sense of elegant ease, blending modern design with timeless sophistication. Alongside it, the Agent collection embodies versatile luxury—crafted for women who move seamlessly from desk to dinner with polished, purposeful style. Complementing the season's spirit, Belden introduces the Jewelry Case, Zip-Around Passport Case, and Wallet on Chain in Metallic Silver alongside additional seasonal hues—gifts that bring a festive shine designed to endure long beyond the holidays.
Personalization and monogramming play a meaningful role this season, reflecting TUMI's belief that true luxury lies in the details. Bespoke monogramming services transform travel and lifestyle accessories into lasting keepsakes. Each mark of personalization reflects identity and intent—a finishing touch that turns functional design into something deeply personal, crafted to journey alongside the one it's made for.
