After the face-changing opera as warm-up, there was the travel promotion of Sichuan, and a short animation video clip about Sichuan Gourmet Tour campaign. After that, the MC introduced Xiong Meimei, the icon of Sichuan gourmet, which received rounds of applause from the audience. Theme stickers based on the image of Xiong Meimei were published on the big screen and the audience on the venue took out their phones and scanned the QR code to download. Later, “Sichuan on Paper” Fragrance Postcard Launch Ceremony, and Sichuan Gourmet Tour Cooperative Restaurants Award Ceremony proceeded.
