"So we think for Xiong'an New Area, we could provide a lot of content and interesting things for the kids, because the main part is also doing kids-friendly cities, and we have a lot for families and kids."

SOUNDBITE 3 (English): TAY UNG, Co-Founder of CHOISI
"The thing I hope to gain from this exhibition is in general people's feedback about my products. And it's really important for designers to come out in the real world and to see how that fits in the real world and hear people's opinions, so we can improve and learn."

Held from Sept. 22 to 28, the HIDW 2023 sets its main venue in Xiong'an New Area and branch venues in other cities of Hebei to introduce global top design resources around Hebei through various activities.
