An exhibition of the photos of Wuxi and the city's creative and cultural products commenced at the Bell Tower Library of Chong'an Temple in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, on Jan 21.
The urban visual exhibition contains a collection of 44 photos covering nature, culture, cityscape, and innovation. In the center of the exhibition area, these pictures are assembled, unfolding like a scroll. The surrounding images are displayed in a suspended manner, with each photo seemingly floating in the air.

Another part involves the creative and cultural products launched by IP WUXI studio in collaboration with 11 local institutions. These artistic and creative products showcase Wuxi's rich cultural heritage by integrating traditional craftsmanship, modern design, and regional specialty products.
Among them, the double-sided embroidered court fan reproduces the beautiful landscape along the ancient Grand Canal in Wuxi; Huishan clay figurines and Wuxi landmarks are designed to form the characters "无锡" with a hollowed-out carving on the cover of the Wuxi Notebook. The two Chinese characters can also be used as a standalone refrigerator magnet.

Over 100 years ago, the venue was the tallest building in Wuxi and one of the earliest public libraries in China. It has now become a symbol of the city. After protective restoration, it has been transformed into a new public cultural space and opened to the public in 2023.
