The Nantong booth became one of the most popular on the opening day thanks to its onsite activities.

At the entrance, a player of Mei'an guqin performed the traditional Chinese instrument on the replicated balcony of Nantong Museum while expo-goers waited in line to try rubbing the horizontal inscribed boards from the city's China Charity Museum.
