Xinhua Silk Road: E. China ancient town beckons holiday travelers with lively folk custom vibe

BEIJING, March 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In Zaozhuang City of east China’s Shandong Province, Taierzhuang Ancient Town, a reputed scenic attraction, always beckons travelers from near and far with enchanting folk custom performances and bustling festive celebrations.

The scenic zone, also a time-honored locality where the ancient canal, waterside streets and alleys, old architectures of varied styles, and a variety of intangible cultural heritages (ICHs) co-speak for its charming history, brims with the hustle and bustle of life at daytime.

During traditional Chinese festivals in particular, Taierzhuang Ancient Town remains a ready land of joy featuring cheerful folk custom performances on the winding local alleys beside its ancient canal section.

For instance, the Lantern Festival of the Year of the Horse in early March approached visitors with a splashy world of colorful festive lanterns to express people’s good wishes for life.

Apart from dragon and lion dances on local alleys, Chinese acrobatic performances are also a common sight for the festival often replete with children’s laughter, aroma of local snacks and cuisines and characteristic handicrafts in street-side stalls.

While strolling in Taierzhuang Ancient Town, travelers can immerse themselves in the lively aura brought by the bustling temple fairs for traditional festivals there, feeling like stepping back in time to the streets and alleys in ancient time.

When night comes, the ancient town decorated by dazzling lights transforms immediately into a twinkling starry space where a casual snapshot of the festive lanterns placed along local rivers is sure to be an adorable scenery.

At its eastern gate tower, a light and shadow show tells the history of Taierzhuang Ancient Town, welcoming visitors with melodious music and a re-presentation of the spectacular ancient scene in which lights on shipping boats lit up the rivers and markets did not close at nights.

On Taierzhuang Ancient Town’s iconic dragon boat-shaped street surrounded by waters, colorful light shows illuminate the old architectures whose golden and red colors intertwine to create a fairy tale-like world.

Rowing on local rivers stands also for a pleasant experience for visitors and watching the “fire dragon and iron flower” performance that blends dragon dances and molten iron water striking for sparks on Guan Yu Temple Square promises an even more unmissable delight.

AustCham Lao Celebrates International Women’s Day with Focus on Alumni-Driven Growth

The Australian Chamber of Commerce (AustCham) Lao marked International Women’s Day 2026 with a panel and networking event in Vientiane, bringing together Australian-educated Lao entrepreneurs and business leaders with thirty representatives from AustCham member companies under the theme “Invest in Her. Invest in Laos.”

AustCham Lao, the oldest foreign chamber in Laos, drew over 65 people to the 12 March event, a gathering supported by the Australian Embassy in Laos.  “Today is a tangible demonstration of Australia’s long-term investment in human resource development in the country – a showcase of a high-yield investment,” said Sam Pike, AustCham Executive Director, in her opening remarks.

The panel featured prominent Alumni entrepreneurs, Anna Viravong of Wine Haus and Daily Ritual Co., Than Chaleunsouk of Yoosay, Gift Panyathip of Panyathip British International School and St Hugh’s College, and Touk Xaixana of New Link Lao and Maicome. Filmmaker Anysay Keola of Lao New Wave Cinema joined as a male ally, underscoring that gender inclusion is a shared responsibility.

That spirit of shared responsibility carried through the discussion.

Drawing on the 2026 global IWD theme “When We Give, We Gain,” panellists discussed how their Australian education translated into business leadership and success back home, and how they actively work to support, engage and celebrate other women in their sectors. 

The Alumni and AustCham member influence extended beyond the stage.August Living Haus and Once Upon a Time Café catered the morning tea, Costa Berry Laos flew in fresh blueberries from its Paksong farm, and alumni-owned businesses including Khao Lao, Annabelle Cafe, Revlon, Wine Haus and Made with Love by Kino donated prizes for the lucky draw.

The event responded directly to Invested: Australia’s Southeast Asia Economic Strategy to 2040’s call for stronger alumni-business connections, with new partnerships forming across the room which will hopefully lead to an ongoing exchange of ideas, connections and mutual gains.

British Embassy Launches Second Year of Women’s Leadership Program in Laos

Young Women Leaders Mentoring Program (Photo: British Embassy Vientiane)

Fifteen young Lao women from across the country have been selected for the second year of the Young Women’s Leadership Mentoring Program, supported by the British Embassy Vientiane, which officially launched on 10 March at an International Women’s Day reception.

The cohort reflects a deliberate effort to reach beyond the capital. At least a third of participants are based outside Vientiane, with candidates drawn from the north to the south of the country. They work across the private sector, scientific research, community engagement, international organizations and government.

Each participant receives personalized mentoring tailored to her own goals, alongside networking opportunities with senior professionals from across the region. Mentors come from 13 nationalities and include ambassadors and leaders from organizations such as the Mekong River Commission, the Asian Development Bank and the United Nations.

UK Ambassador Mel Barlow said the embassy was proud to lead the initiative. “We are inspired by the talent and potential we’ve seen again in this year’s applicants. We are indebted to our volunteer mentors who are giving their time to support the aspirations and career development of our 15 mentees.”

For participants, the impact is already tangible. Thidachanh Khammanichanh, who joined the 2025 program, said being mentored by the Thai Ambassador had changed her outlook. “It is truly motivating me to pursue my unfulfilled dream and always give back to society when we can.”

The program supports Laos’ national goal of increasing women’s participation in leadership, working to ensure women’s voices are represented at every level of society.

“Created for Ease”: ECOVACS Brand Campaign Honors Caregivers Across the APAC Region


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 March 2026 – ECOVACS Robotics, a global leader in home service robotics, is bringing its global “ECOVACS, Created for Ease” brand idea to the APAC region with a local twist: “Always in Your Corner”. With this, ECOVACS is underscoring its commitment to understanding and meeting the unique needs of users in the APAC region.

ECOVACS - Family

“ECOVACS, Created for Ease” reflects the brand’s ongoing commitment to leverage service robotics to create a world of ease for users by relieving them of household tasks. For users in the APAC region, ECOVACS knows that “ease” is not simply about doing less. It means easing the mind and letting go of mental burdens. To bring ease to APAC users, technology must not demand attention. It should be “Always in Your Corner” – quietly helping users to keep their daily life on track.
“Always in Your Corner” for APAC’s Unsung Heroes
“Always in Your Corner” represents how ECOVACS’ diversified full-scenario home service robotics ecosystem is designed to help ease the burdens faced by users in the APAC region and empower them to enjoy a more effortless modern lifestyle. For example, many in the APAC region are part of the so-called “sandwich generation”. They are the quiet backbones of their households, juggling career demands while also taking care of children and aging parents. Whether it’s helping a child with their homework or taking dad to his doctor’s appointment, these everyday heroes are always in someone else’s corner. ECOVACS believes they also deserve to have someone in their corner, to help ease their burdens.
For the past 20 years, ECOVACS has been driven by a fearless spirit of innovation to solve complex challenges and continuously advance the user experience. The pioneering intelligent technologies in the ECOVACS DEEBOT robotic vacuums and WINBOT robotic window cleaners, such as the OMNI Station, OZMO ROLLER technology, and PowerBoost technology have set new industry benchmarks and become the hidden heroes for every home, designed to help users clean every corner of their home with minimal effort.

Enabling Village Partnership in Singapore
Now ECOVACS is bringing this same innovation spirit to help ease the burdens faced by caregivers in the APAC region. As part of its brand campaign, ECOVACS is planning to cooperate with select like-minded local partners across the region, such as Enabling Village in Singapore. Enabling Village is an integrated community space that aims to empower caregivers for people with disabilities by providing them with resources to manage their responsibilities and enhance their quality of life. ECOVACS will provide Enabling Village caregivers with DEEBOT robotic vacuum cleaners to help ease their burdens and enable them to spend more time on themselves.
“Caring for a child with special needs requires lots of time and patience. And it can be challenging to find moments when I can focus on myself,” says Yvette Wang. “I’m grateful to ECOVACS and their efforts to assist caregivers. With their DEEBOT robotic vacuum I now have one less thing to manage, as I can leave DEEBOT to take care of our floors, and itself.”
To commemorate their partnership, ECOVACS and Enabling Village have invited Yvette’s son, artist @Eli_lailai, to specially design some exclusive merchandise. This collaboration was made possible through I’mable Collective, an initiative by SG Enable that supports and empowers persons with disabilities by providing training and employment opportunities within the creative sector.

ECOVACS x Elijah
An Ecosystem that Empowers Ease
ECOVACS’ efforts to continually strengthen its leadership in service robotics are rooted in its deep understanding of users’ needs. Its regionally tailored brand idea “Created for Ease – Always in Your Corner” reflects the brand’s desire to tailor its mission of ‘Robotics for All’ to shape a better future for users in the APAC region with robots that can seamlessly serve every home, everywhere.
The industry-leading cleaning technologies pioneered by ECOVACS demonstrate its dedication to reducing human effort while maximizing cleaning precision and efficiency, all with the aim of offering dependable cleaning experiences tailored to the needs of today’s households. ECOVACS’ service robots offer users more ease by bringing efficient, effortless cleaning to every corner of their household.
“Always in Your Corner” reflects how ECOVACS’ home service robotics ecosystem is designed for users in the APAC region – to support their full-home scenarios, from floors to windows. The ECOVACS DEEBOT robotic vacuums and WINBOT robotic window cleaners are built to handle what must be done — quietly, consistently, and intelligently. They don’t just clean, they leave users with less to manage.

Amplifying a Message of Care
ECOVACS will extend the impact of this brand campaign across multiple touchpoints in key APAC markets, including Singapore, Australia, Vietnam, India, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. Through localized partnerships, integrated brand storytelling, and community engagement, ECOVACS aims to honor caregivers as well as those across the region who are seeking a less stressful and more balanced life.
Intelligent. Innovative. Intuitive.
From its DEEBOT family of robotic vacuum cleaners to its WINBOT family of robotic window cleaners, all of ECOVACS’ innovations are backed by its well-established vertically integrated supply chain and independently developed technologies spanning batteries, AI, motors, transmission components and more.
Today, ECOVACS serves over 38 million households across nearly 180 markets worldwide. Its mission — “Robotics for All” — reflects a long-term commitment to making intelligent service robotics accessible, reliable, and seamlessly integrated into everyday life.
“Created for Ease” is not only about cleaning better. It’s about living lighter and reducing what needs your attention – so that you can focus on what truly matters. And in doing so, ECOVACS is always in your corner.

GrabForGood Fund Increases Commitment to US$3.2 Million for 2026 to Education and Community Resilience Programmes across Southeast Asia


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 March 2026 – Grab, a leading super app in Southeast Asia, today announced a US$3.2 million commitment for 2026 from the GrabForGood Fund, an endowment dedicated to supporting its partners and the community-at-large. This latest allocation will fund programmes across Southeast Asia to support the Fund’s three core pillars: Education, Community Care, and Disaster Relief.

The 2026 roadmap includes the flagship GrabScholar programme, which provides bursaries for underprivileged school-going children and full-ride merit scholarships for students with demonstrated financial need and strong academic potential, as well as health and meal nutrition programmes for schools.

The GrabForGood Fund was established by Grab to ensure the company’s success is directly shared with the communities it serves. This commitment was anchored by a personal contribution of over US$16 million from Grab’s Group CEO and Co-Founder, Anthony Tan, as a marker of leadership accountability to the Fund’s long-term mission, as well as additional contributions from other individual and organisational donors.

“We started the GrabForGood Fund to provide a foundation for people across Southeast Asia to build the future they want for themselves. I’ve seen first-hand the incredible resilience of our partners and our communities, yet there can be systemic barriers that are hard to overcome alone. In 2026, we aim for these programmes to be the stepping stones to better opportunities – whether by ensuring a child has a nutritious meal to focus in class, or providing a student with a full scholarship to reach university and create new possibilities for their family’s future,” said Anthony Tan, Group CEO and Co-Founder of Grab.

2025 Programme Highlights

The 2026 commitment builds on a year of significant momentum. In 2025, the GrabForGood Fund disbursed more than US$2 million, directly supporting over 3,600 students in the GrabScholar programme across Southeast Asia with bursaries and full-ride merit scholarships. The Fund also backed a suite of community initiatives to support caregiving networks, address school nutrition to improve educational outcomes, and foster learning and innovation development across Southeast Asia.

Since its inception in 2022, the GrabScholar programme has supported 8,238 students across Southeast Asia, including driver- and merchant-partners and their immediate family members, as well as members of the public. In 2025 alone, 3,486 school-going children received GrabScholar bursaries, and 117 university students were awarded full-ride merit scholarships. The programme expanded to Thailand and Vietnam last year, and is also available in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.

Đặng Phương Ngân is one of Vietnam’s first GrabScholar recipients in 2025, and she is pursuing Finance at the University of Economics HCMC. Her father is a Grab driver-partner and her mother is a factory cleaner. Ngân said, “Becoming a GrabScholar feels like coming full circle. My father driving with Grab opened the first door for our family. Grab now supports my education, and I hope to use it not only to build a career in finance, but to create a foundation that allows me to give back to others who are still waiting for their chance.”

In the Philippines, Rise Against Hunger Philippines launched the Dietary Supplementation Programme, with support from the GrabForGood Fund. This initiative will provide daily rice-soy meals to over 2,600 children to improve their nutrition and create a healthy learning environment.

Additional Community Initiatives

Beyond the GrabForGood Fund, Grab runs several long-standing community programmes as part of its triple bottom line commitment to deliver financial performance, while driving social impact and environmental sustainability.

In Singapore, Grab offers the Emerald Circle Scholarships, a bond-free award for children of eligible driver- and delivery-partners to study at local universities, alongside various student bursaries.

To support partner earnings and resilience, GrabAcademy provides continuous training and skills development to help driver-partners improve their earning potential. In 2025, more than 1.5 million driver-partners completed at least one GrabAcademy course. In addition, Grab runs programmes such as the Grab Women Drivers’ Programme and GrabAccess for persons with disabilities to reduce barriers to earning opportunities for the underrepresented on the platform.

There were also 17 environmental projects supported in 2025 to support local conservation, and empower consumers to make sustainable choices. This is facilitated by Grab’s in-app Green Programme feature that channels consumer contributions towards independently verified environmental projects across Southeast Asia, supporting climate action, nature conservation, and community resilience.

INNIX Aura Mini LED R8000
INNIX Aura Mini LED R8000

1) Global-first Dynamic Sound Engine: R8000 “Transforming TV”

The INNIX Aura Mini LED R8000 series debuts a global-first Dynamic Sound Engine that links acoustic and mechanical structures, letting the soundstage evolve as the TV changes form. R8000F features an extendable, rotating speaker-integrated design with an Active Follow System and mmWave sensing to keep audio aligned with viewer position. R8000G is conceived as a “kinetic facade”: a front-mounted acoustic module glides to reframe the display like a stage proscenium, masking non-active areas for different formats and creating a refined, gallery-like presence. For picture performance, R8000 features a low-reflection Black Crystal True-Color panel with 1.28% reflectance, ΔE < 1 color accuracy, and DCI-P3 ≥ 98%.

2) INNIX RGB Mini LED: three-primary backlight

RGB Mini LED uses red, green, and blue LEDs for coordinated light-and-color control. W6000 Pro achieves 100% BT.2020, 9,360 color-control zones, 108-bit precision, and ΔE < 0.7. Z8000 delivers up to 10,000 nits peak brightness and 170Hz native refresh.

3) Red-light Quantum Dot

Red-light quantum dot introduces 650nm red light to expand color while reducing high-energy blue light for more comfortable long viewing. Aura Mini LED S3000 balances vivid images with lower eye strain.

4) 136-inch TFT Glass Substrate Micro LED Wall: X9000

The 136-inch INNIX X9000 uses self-emissive Micro LED for pixel-level control, high contrast, and long life. Modular design supports transport and in-home assembly, while a TFT glass substrate improves flatness and thermal stability.

5) China-first, scalable 3LCoS home cinema projection: INNIX D2

INNIX D2 uses a 3LCoS optical engine designed for scalable manufacturing. With RGB laser illumination, it delivers up to 3,400 CVIA lumens, 100,000:1 contrast, and 110% BT.2020, plus 1.6× lossless optical zoom. AI features include obstacle avoidance, auto keystone, and dynamic focus. Liquid-cooling helps keep brightness stable during extended viewing.

Triple AI across the lineup

INNIX integrates Dreamind AI image-processing chips, LLM-powered AI agents (DeepSeek-enabled), and DreameHome AIoT connectivity to unify picture, sound, and smart-home experiences. Beyond TVs and projectors, the ecosystem also spans OLED monitors, portable lifestyle displays with Dreame’s Paper-Like Screen technology, and soundbars featuring proprietary acoustic-material engineering.
