The theme this year is something about the mascot getting married to the Dragon King of the East Sea. The rest of the story is to be revealed at the con.This invitation thingy also came in a wax-sealed envelope. Simply gorgeous. Those who bought the higher tier tickets even get to have an exclusive convention badge of their ocsThe con is not until Oct.14th so I know it's way too early to start a thread about it already but still. I will definitely start a new one when I'm there.I suck at writing or getting my thoughts across in general no matter in English or Chinese since I'm autistic so I'm gonna leave it to the other Chinese-speaking anons (if there are any) to fill in the details.
Also got these bookmarks to give away.Hope I survive the con
>>41441928the wax seal
>Chinese con>no KirinTHE FUCKWHERE ARE THE KIRIN
>>41441943There are Kirin mascots at cons like CNBC but the ponies here already look pretty Chinese though.Also this mare is called Black Opium kek
>>41441943Isn't that Korean?
>>41441928>the mascot getting married to the Dragon King of the East SeaGonna need a picture of anon as Nezha cucking the dragon king.
>>41441928Why is the pink maned mare looking at me so seductively
>>41441928Hello, I'm going there too. I'll be handing out some figurines.
>>41443423The embodiment of pure generosity!
why are asians so good at making cute stuff?
>>41443942They know it's a formula they can shit out repeatedly with no effort
>>41442161>Roof kirin
>>41442161Asian as a whole I guess
>>41441943They can have mistmane. Kirin is for everyone.
>>41442004iwtci black opium
>>41444223No, Chinese cons are Chinese. And fuck them, why can't we have one international Asian con? Why are Europeans allowed to have these, but we are not? So unfair!At least the Japanese PonyCons were nice...
Based ChinaAnons! Report back with findings!
>>41441928say hi to jack for me
>>41444297the great firewall makes it hard for words to go around and with china’s strict boarder control combined, basically every con held in china means all other countries are excluded and vice versa. But china is such a big country to be excluded so I don't think there would be a truly international asian con unless china turns free
any hot chinese girls there? I'm interested
>>41441928>>41443423What's attendance like at Chinese cons? I can't find anything about this one in particular even when searching for 杭马节 or 杭马节 白蛇的新娘 2024. The stationary and theming at least gives the impression it's not a tiny con.
>>41444421https://b23.tv/Qs4tAj7This is the Bilibili account of the organizer, you can refer to it
>>41444421The official QQ group created in 2021 has 1574 members as of now so I wouldn't say it’s small. But the con only lasts for a day so obviously it’s not that large of a con either, not as large as CNBC at least There are more informations about Chinese bronycons on www.equestriacn.com where you can find their QQ group numbers
>>41442004>at cons like CNBC>CNBClol
China is like a whole world in itself so it's interesting to see what's going on there with ponies since so little is leaking from their walled interwebs
>>41444793> People who poni should not be involved in this shit from both "sides".And that's exactly why no one cares about this. I've given these to a lot of my friends who absolutely hate Ukraine and they didn't mind at all as when it comes to ponies none of us gives a tiny bit of damn about politics. We are just here for how cute the mares are and how cool is it for Tavi to hold a rocket launcher, except for those politically over sensitive ones, that is.I'm not involved in any of this whatsoever. It’s merely a number of people around me are interested in military stuff and happy to see ponies with guns so we focus on the aesthetic of the artwork more than the ideology
>>41444836>we focus on the aesthetic of the artwork more than the ideologyMuttoids are incapable of this anymore.
>>41441928>Year of the SnakeAre snekpones gonna be there?
Sure is pony in here.
>>41444421>>41444733The page on EquestriaCNhttps://www.equestriacn.com/2024/09/pony-convention-information.htmlThere is also a summary of all upcoming 2025 cons by a BiliBili user. pic relhttps://www.bilibili.com/read/cv38131992/?from=readlist>>41441928>>41443423Any advice for an overseas mainlander planning to visit CNBC in 2025?Is the ticket physical and mailed to you and you are required to bring it, or do they do registration at the con like US/EU cons?>>41444297>>41444402Visa rules, mainland Chinese doesn't get visa free travel to the Asian allies of the US (Japan, South Korea), the US, or Europe, so in return they don't get visa free travel to Chyna (there are some exceptions though). Reciprocity in action.EU has Schengen, and the US considers most countries in Europe to be friendlies, so they get ESTA. So that covers most of the Western world and the US Asian allies, ie International con.
>>41445121>Any advice for an overseas mainlander planning to visit CNBC in 2025?I'm not an overseas mainlander so I don't think I'm able to offer any solid advice on that, sorry.>Is the ticket physical and mailed to you and you are required to bring it, or do they do registration at the con like US/EU cons?For CNBC, the former. I don't know if they ship overseas though but they probably do. For HZBF, the ticket(that invitation stuff) is shipped to you as a souvenir kind of thing. The only thing you need is the Taobao order number for the ticket to enter.
>>41445040Nah.But the concept of creating a mascot pony based on the zodiac animal of each year is still really cool. I love it
>>41445161>>41445166>>41445173Thanks anon.Then the plan is getting it shipped for forwarding through Superbuy.Then you just bring it and show up at the con venue like usual? I'm in a bit of an odd situation were I don't have a 身份证 but I am able to pay stuff through WeChat (not Alipay though), and using the passport as ID is very hit miss (usually miss though), but booking the con hotel block should work out?>>41445040Snek year is next year, Dragon year atm.
>>41445197You could try joining the official CNBC QQ group and ask around there. I’ve never been abroad myself so I’m not too sure about that kind of stuff. So really sorry about that haha
>>41441928Cool
>>41444263Same.
>>41444409a lot. Seriously, a lot.
>>41447276pics where
>>41441928Could you send some Chinese pony merch my way bro?
>>41447793Not OP, Shipping fees are dumb, but I have a superbuy account and can get china stuff and send it out that way
