The 180-square-meter exhibition area showcased Guiyang's urban charm through natural resources, cultural heritage, industrial development, and investment advantages.
On the first day of the fair, the "Robot Coffee Cart" – independently developed by Guizhou Hankaisi Intelligent Technology Co (PIX Moving), an enterprise based in Guiyang National High-tech Industrial Development Zone – became the center of attention.
The mobile coffee experience space, imbued with a sci-fi feel, brought aromatic coffee and intelligent mobile scenarios together, becoming the pavilion's most soothing and eye-catching tech highlight and attracting a large number of exhibitors and guests from home and abroad to stop and watch.

This year's themed pavilion extends beyond cutting-edge technology to include a "five exquisites" immersive experience zone. It features a traceability display wall for premium coffee, a craft beer area that mimics a wine cellar, immersive stalls for exquisite dining, cultural creative products showcased in distinctive display windows, and boutique homestays with viewing windows. These elements let visitors experience Guiyang's diverse consumer formats and local charm firsthand.
In addition, the limited-time "check-in and draw gifts" activity in the pavilion also drew high popularity. Souvenirs such as cocktail experience vouchers, small potato-shaped dolls, custom refrigerator magnets, and cultural creative canvas bags – each carrying Guizhou elements – conveyed Guiyang's sincere invitation to guests from all over the world.
