the National Famous and Excellent Agricultural Products hall, the Well-off Life

hall, and the Hainan-Taiwan trade hall, with a total area of over 100,000

square meters. Tropical fruits and vegetables, aquatic products, red wine, tea,

coffee and other specialty goods are displayed.

This Trade Fair, through market-oriented investment promotion and operation,

has attracted more than 100 foreign companies from more than 20 countries and

regions, as well as nearly 2,000 companies and over 5,000 exhibitors from 21

provinces in China.

At the site, exhibitors catch the eye of consumers through various fancy shows

such as interactive games and singing & dancing performances, constituting a

lively scene. As of the 20th, the Trade Fair had had a total visitor flow of about 197,600.
