It gathers trendy products from top-tier cultural institutions and museums, including the Palace Museum, the National Museum of China, the National Art Museum of China, the Capital Museum, and the Shaanxi History Museum. Leading trendy toy brands such as Pop Mart, 52TOYS and HERE will also be present, alongside exquisite, cultural and creative products and local specialties from across China.

The event bends daytime fun with nighttime buzz, offering a non-stop playground. During the day, visitors can stroll through the park, explore the market, and enjoy interactive experiences. After the dark, the excitement continues with boat rides, light shows, live performances and themed parades. Phase 1.5 of POP LAND will also make its debut.

Over the 10-day event, different activities will take place every day, including themed cruises, light shows, regional intangible cultural heritage parades, and mecha parades. Best of all, the event will be open to the public for free, with booth fees also waived for participating vendors. Organizers will give away 2 million yuan worth of "trendy toy consumer coupons" (潮玩惠民礼包), while 19 “Beijing Gifts” themed stores across the city will join the campaign with special promotions covering scenic spots, shopping areas, museums and other cultural venues, and transportation hubs.
