36th Hong Kong Book Fair Weekend Rush: AI Teaching Materials and Author Talks Top Attractions

The Hong Kong Book Fair enters its weekend peak period with crowds flooding the Convention and Exhibition Centre. Linked with the Hong Kong Sports and Leisure Expo and Snack World, the three-in-one ticket creates a summer cultural leisure experience. This year's theme is Reading from Hong Kong: Cultural Heritage and Joyful Life. Over 700 publishing institutions participate, with Yunnan making its debut as the mainland guest province and the ASEAN Literature Festival established for the first time. The deep integration of AI and educational publishing becomes the biggest highlight: multiple publishers jointly launch interactive AI teaching reference systems with technology companies, allowing personalized explanations and voice Q&A through QR code scanning. Twelve AI experience stations have long queues all day. Limited edition Greater Bay Area Cultural Series with AR technology from Commercial Press and Joint Publishing sold out on the first day. Over 600 cultural events run concurrently, with author talks by Liu Zhenyun and Xu Zidong in high demand. The fair continues until July 21.
