The 2023 China Ganoderma Lucidum Culture Festival (also the Nantong industrial tourism boutique routes promotion event) was held in the Nantong Economic and Technological Development Area (NETDA) in East China's Jiangsu province on July 4, during which nine industrial tourism boutique routes were released.

NETDA's Alphay Biotechnology Park, which centers around Ganoderma lucidum, was among them.

Dubbed "Nantong's most beautiful public cultural venue', Alphay is a one-of-a-kind provincial industrial tourism attraction featuring the research and development of Ganoderma lucidum, popular science education and leisure.

Alphay is the result of the implementation of NETDA's cultural and tourism strategy, which is aimed at cultivating new businesses such as industrial tourism, study tours, sporting competitions and wellness tourism.

NETDA authorities will continue their efforts to advance the integration of culture and tourism, integrating history, ecology, and science and technology elements into its tourism industry.
