The 10th International Design Festival opened at 751 Park in Beijing Friday.
This year's event features almost 70 activities, larger than the past years', including forums, exhibitions, fairs as well as parenting classes, according to the organizers.
They said the focus of the event will be "beyond the boundaries" to break through the barrier to reach people's hearts via design. To highlight the distance between people amid the global epidemic, the event will also try to narrow the distance between people but in a safe manner.
Unlike the previous event, this year has brought some Mexico elements into the event with some artists invited to express their love for aesthetic with Spanish words and video shows.
At its opening ceremony, the organizers presented an audio-visual feast with symphonic music, creating an atmosphere of bringing people closer.
The festival, which coincides with the upcoming Golden Week of the National Day holiday, will last two weeks. From Oct 1 to 3, a marketplace of with food, shopping, culture events and VR experience will be held.
