Newcastle China Week

Newcastle's largest celebration of traditional and contemporary Chinese culture will return from the 6-7 September 2019 in celebration of Wine, Tourism and Connectivity.

Newcastle China Week will cross countries, continents and cultures at a series of events from Friday 13th – Sunday 15th October.

Newcastle China Week is the flagship event for the University of Newcastle’s Confucius Institute and the largest and most prominent celebration of the economic and cultural relationship that the Hunter Region shares with the world’s second largest economy, China.

This year we will be introducing the Belt and Road Initiative, a re-imagining of the legendary Silk Road, which seeks to economically connect Asia, Europe and Africa along five routes. The initiative aims to generate $US1 trillion worth of projects and will involve 65 countries.

Newcastle is well placed to untap some of the opportunities as a result of the Belt and Road Initiative, so the 2017 China Week theme will explore this concept through enlightened discussions at the business forum and provide a journey for the senses when Belt and Road Cultures are introduced into the entertainment and hospitality options at our Noodle Night Market and Festival finale.

Come along for an immersive experience of culture, flavours, colours, arts and thoughts from China and beyond!
