Zabaikalsky Krai is preparing for "The Far East Street" exhibition

Installation of the Trans-Baikal Territory pavilion has begun at the Eastern Economic Forum. This year, its concept is inspired by the five elements: four natural elements—earth, water, fire, and air—and a fifth element that unites all the others—the energy of people, the region's primary force.

People are the unifying element of the entire exhibition, uniting the natural wealth, industrial potential, culture, and tourism opportunities of Trans-Baikal.

The main pavilion covers 261 square meters. The exhibition consists of four main zones: the main exhibition pavilion, a small pavilion, a stage, and an art space.

The main pavilion's architectural form is inspired by gold-veined stone—a symbol of Trans-Baikal's rich mineral wealth and one of the region's key natural resources.

The interior is divided into nine thematic sections. The central element will be a large-scale multimedia installation in the form of a futuristic digital tube with panoramic screens and integrated lighting. It symbolizes the continuous flow of energy in Transbaikalia and simultaneously serves as an interactive navigation system for the exhibition.

Using a touchscreen, visitors can select one of the five elements. Thematic routes, natural locations, landmarks, and key projects in the region will then be displayed on the surrounding screens.

Products from Transbaikal producers will occupy a special place in the pavilion. Visitors will be able to explore local products in the "Tastes of Transbaikal" and "Made in Transbaikal" shopping areas.

The gastronomic concept is built around the region's four flavor codes: the taiga imparts aroma, the steppe strength, the mountains purity, and the path character. Humanity unites these elements, transforming them into the taste of Transbaikal.

The area will feature meat delicacies, pine nut products, honey, jam, herbal teas from wild plants, freeze-dried berries, as well as handicrafts, clothing, blankets, and souvenirs from Transbaikal artisans.

One of the main artistic highlights will be the sculpture "Solar Myth" by Honored Artist of Russia and Academician of the Russian Academy of Arts Dashi Namdakov—an artistic image of a mighty Siberian moose.

Each day of the program will be dedicated to one of the elements. Visitors will enjoy master classes, fashion shows by Transbaikal designers, concerts, and dance performances. Guests will be able to create their own amulet doll under the guidance of Transbaikal craftswoman Milana Kasatkina. The program will feature performances by the Klyukva show ballet. The region will also be represented by soloists from the Oleg Lundstrem Regional Philharmonic, the Veter Peremen ensemble, and the Nikolai Budashkin Russian Instrumental Ensemble.

The pavilion's concept seamlessly continues the main theme of the Eastern Economic Forum: "Far East – Development for the Benefit of People." Through modern multimedia technologies, natural symbols, local products, and the creativity of local residents, the pavilion will showcase Transbaikal as a region where the energy of its people remains the primary source of development.
