On January 1, 2026, the Longyou Xikou International Cartoon Exhibition officially opened to the public at the "Forest Cube" art space on Xikou Old Street in Xikou Town, Longyou County, Zhejiang Province, China. Under the theme "Xikou • Countryside • Future," the exhibition brings together cartoon works from more than 20 countries and regions across five continents. Through the vivid medium of cartoons, it tells the story of Xikou, promotes the culture of Longyou, and aims to build a regionally significant cultural brand with international influence.

Since its call for submissions began in September 2025, the exhibition has received 936 valid entries from countries including China, France, Italy, Germany, Poland, Russia, Brazil, and India. Ultimately, 200 works were selected for display, reflecting the event's broad international participation and artistic standards.

The selection process involved seven international judges from China, France, Poland, and Bulgaria, ensuring the professionalism and authority of the competition.

The exhibited works showcase diverse styles and distinct themes, with creators drawing inspiration from Xikou's natural landscapes, cultural heritage, local specialties, and visions of a future countryside. Through humorous touches and rich artistic expression, they present a multi-dimensional, vibrant, and dynamic image of Xikou.

The exhibition is located at the "Forest Cube" on Xikou Old Street (opposite Yuwang Bookstore) and will run from January 1 to June 30, 2026, with daily opening hours from 9:00 to 17:00. Friends from all walks of life are warmly invited to visit and witness the beautiful convergence of cartoons and rural life.
