On November 22nd, the Coffee and Bread Festival 4.0 and Retro-Trend Art Toy Carnival officially kicked off at the Ronggui Fisherman's Wharf of Shunde District, Foshan. This celebration combines coffee culture with retro-trendart toys, attracting over 70 baking, coffee, food, and cultural brands from Foshan, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and other cities, bringing innovative activities and diverse experiences to inject vibrant energy into Shunde.

"There are a lot of visitors here, and the atmosphere is great; and there's so much delicious food!" said Liang Kongliang, owner of "MORE THAN COFFEE" from Huai'an, Jiangsu, who traveled over 1,500 kilometers in his RV to showcase his signature coffee "Afternoon Tea on Peter Street", which blends the unique flavors of both Jiangsu and Guangdong. "The name of the coffee comes from an old street in Huai'an, but the flavor highlights the local essence of Guangdong's lychee and longan. I hope friends in Shunde will enjoy it," he added.

Aside from coffee, delicious food offerings and art toys are another highlightat the event. The Christmas-themed Cannelés, aromatic Kombucha, and specialty coffees inspired by the owner'sstory draw visitors in for tasting and photo taking. The most standout attraction is the "jelly lohei" wharf raw fish stand located in the sunken plaza, where chefs playfully "catch" the raw fish dolls, providing a fun twist on traditional Shunde cuisines.

As China's coffee culture continues to flourish, young people have become the driving force behind the spread of coffee culture while constituting the primary consumer group in the coffee market. Coffee is often described as "the spiritual food of Generation Z". The event also features the "Dialogue With You" coffee-themed youth forum, with a focus on "new consumption forms and developments for Shundecoffee" and "new directions in the coffee industry". Bringing together local coffee industry representatives and pioneers, it further encourages the new generation of coffee lovers to engage in the developmentof coffee industry.
