The CIIE Fair remains a popular shopping and tourism spot for local residents and visitors, as the fourth China International Import Expo dropped its curtain on Nov 10.

Different statues of the panda mascot Jinbao can be seen everywhere at the fair, with souvenirs such as the Chinese zodiac mystery box, which is among the many best-selling items on display.

As the CIIE converts exhibits to commodities, the fair encompasses the culture and folk customs of countries and regions such as Turkey, Japan, South Korea, as well as the Central and Eastern European countries.

The 550-square-meter location also serves up experiences with international cuisine and cultural performances, building a diversified platform for culture and people-to-people exchanges.
