From May 30 to June 2, 2025, the 3rd Art Hong Kong Expo was held with great success at the AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong. Centered on "Building a Platform for Chinese Culture to Reach the World", the expo brought together global creative forces. Leveraging Hong Kong's unique position as a hub for cultural exchange between China and the world, it served as a robust bridge for promoting Chinese culture internationally. The event was supported by institutions including the Art Development Center of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, co-organized by Hong Kong's Paper Communication Exhibition Services, with China Arts and Entertainment Group (CAEG) serving as an executive partner.

The 2025 expo surpassed its predecessors in both scale and participation, attracting over 36,000 visitors. The opening ceremony welcomed over 300 distinguished guests, and the main forum engaged more than 400 experts and scholars from around the world. The expo achieved significant results in exhibition recruitment and investment promotion, securing participation from seven high-quality enterprises and projects. Media coverage was extensive, generating over 2,300 news items and reaching nearly 500 million views.

A notable highlight was the special exhibition of the Three Hills and Five Gardens curated and presented by China International Exhibition Agency (CIEA). Drawing nearly 10,000 visitors from Hong Kong and abroad, this exhibition marked the first time the Haidian district of Beijing showcased its latest achievements in technology-empowered cultural tourism to Hong Kong and an international audience. It effectively promoted Haidian's premium cultural resources and conveyed the district's image as open, inclusive, dynamic, and forward-looking.
