On April 28, the Metaverse Special Committee of the Guangzhou Digital Economy Association built the first metaverse fan community at the Lianxiang Maker Space in Tianhe district.

The community aims to promote the construction of the open source community, the maker space, as well as the supply and demand exchange platform for the metaverse, with the hope of playing a unique role in promoting metaverse project cooperation and settlement, said Ren Hao, secretary general of the Guangzhou Digital Economy Association.

More than 20 members of the association took part in the launching ceremony, discussing topics like metaverse education, digital humanities, and digital collections.

Zhao Wen, dean of the College of Foreign Studies of Jinan University, shared her opinions on language education and cultural exchanges based on the metaverse, while Yao Zhu, a metaverse solution expert at NetEase Yunxin, showcased the company's latest metaverse achievements, including real-time avatar interactions and a virtual interaction engine.

In addition, the offline base for the fan community was also established on the same day at the Lianxiang Maker Space in Tianhe. Both online and offline activities will be carried out to build the community into the most influential metaverse community in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
