As an important activity of the 7th cross-Straits culture industry fair (CCCIF), the festival aims to provide a comprehensive communication platform for students to get closer to culture.

"The creative cultural festival aims to attract students on both sides, and provide a good platform for them to share their creative thoughts and facilitate their cultural attainments," said Xia Min, head of the University Students Creative Cultural Association.
