The event was live broadcast by about 60 radio and television media outside the province, including Fujian, Chongqing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, Changsha, Xi'an, Jinan, and Kunming, as well as major media in nine cities and prefectures in the province.

At the launch ceremony, the Peking Opera "Yangming Wudao" was released by the Guizhou Opera House to preserve the art form and commemorate Wang Yangming, a famous neo-Confucian philosopher in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).

A series of cultural tourism measures for the Dragon Boat Festival was also launched during the event.

In addition, a customized bus for the "Cool Guiyang" brand was unveiled. This is the first cultural tourism double-decker bus in China to integrate urban sightseeing, art retail, beverages and customized services, redefining urban sightseeing.
