Concurrently hosted with the "River of Wisdom -- Animated Version of the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" Exhibition, a stunning line-up of public shows, including AsiaWorld-Expo Open House, Hong Kong Ani-Com Carnival, Gratitude for Hong Kong -- Gratitude Fingerprint Mosaic, Love & Care -- Hong Kong Council of Social Service, New Gallery on Old Bailey, Put yourself on the front line with the MSF Truck Exhibition -- "Living in Conflict", and Richburg car show was welcomed by the public.
"We are extremely pleased that AsiaWorld-Expo has played host to such an important exhibition, setting a new record for event attendance in Hong Kong," remarked Mr. Allen Ha, Chief Executive Officer, AsiaWorld-Expo Management Limited. "I would like to thank the Hong Kong SAR Government, especially the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and everyone here, including all members of our staff and student interns, for the role they played in making this event such a success. The remarkable number of visitors to this event means AsiaWorld-Expo will welcome over 3.2 million visitors in 2010 alone. This is a tremendous achievement both for the venue and Hong Kong."
