Why is the ASEAN Expo always held in Nanning?

The location is excellent. As the southern city of the motherland, Nanning is closer to the ten ASEAN countries than other provincial capitals. In other words, Nanning has a closer relationship with the ten ASEAN countries. There are many trading ports of ASEAN countries, which trade goods with each other. Moreover, from Nanning, compared with other cities in China, the time to reach the ten ASEAN countries will be shorter.

Most provinces and autonomous regions in western China belong to inland areas, while Guangxi is just at the junction of western China and Southeast Asia. It is the only province in the west that has a seaport and borders with Southeast Asian neighbors, and has formed a land, sea and air transportation network with ASEAN countries.

In recent years, Nanning has also hosted or hosted a series of national and international large-scale exhibition activities, such as the United Nations International Conference on Sustainable Development, the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area High-level Forum, the Boao Forum for Asia Tourism, the Nanning International Folk Song Art Festival, the China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, the International School Supplies Expo, and the National Minority Traditional Sports Games, which have all been successful and accumulated rich experience in hosting large-scale international exhibitions.
