Global Huaren Cultural and Creative Centre - co-organized by Oneness International Group Co., Ltd and C.Y. Lee & Partners - has opened in Macau. Centre chairman Wilson Lam said that the main purpose of Global Huaren Cultural and Creative Centre was to promote the development of Huaren brand products. He pointed out that te Centre already launched a a new innovation model with crossover 'industry, city and finance' on 30th April at Creative EXPO Taiwan.
Centre vice chairman Stanley Wei said that Centre had considered many places and finally decided to choose Macau as its headquarters because of the territory's rich resources, including its political environment, finance and human resources. In addition, Macau was six hours flight from three quarters of the world's population, whilst six hours drive would embrace the largest factory in the world.
He said that Shenzhen in Zhuhai had its advantages but that the Centre employs 'Oriental skills and Western thinking' processes, thus Macau could create a unique advantage and global communication, promoting the dream of creativity for the world's 1.46 billion Chinese people to develop cultural and creative standards pertinent to the Chinese world.
The Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) is now operating a 'Macau Cultural and Creative Map' themed store for demonstration and sale of local original products at the C-Shop in Nam Van, located at Avenida Doutor Mário Soares. This store also offers ticketing services for programmes and activities introducing Macau's cultural and creative characteristics to residents and visitors.
The 'Macau Cultural and Creative Map' themed store at C-Shop includes cultural and creative entities listed in the Map, demonstrating and selling local original products, as well as providing information about cultural and creative activities. It has gathered more than 100 original Macau products such as souvenirs, clothing and accessories, household items, books, visual arts and products related to local arts and cultural events. Residents and visitors can also obtain the 'Macau Cultural and Creative Map' at the C-Shop for free, and store staff can provide information about the Map to customers.
