Qingtian county in Lishui, Zhejiang province, known as a hometown for overseas Chinese, offers a diverse range of imported goods. Qingtian Imported Commodity City has been bustling recently with a variety of foreign products for Spring Festival, attracting both locals and tourists.
In the commodity city, the shelves of every store are packed with a wide range of imported goods, including snacks and drinks. Merchants and tourists from all over the country, as well as residents of Qingtian, can enjoy one-stop procurement of imported goods here.
"Recently, consumers mainly come to purchase New Year goods, with notable surges in the sales of hams and red wines. The number of orders has increased significantly, three to five times the usual amount," said Zhang Aiqing, general manager of Macro store in the commodity city.
At present, the store boasts more than 400 brands and over 2,000 types of imported goods, including red wine, snacks, and daily necessities, providing consumers with a diverse selection.
To meet the consumption needs of citizens and tourists, the commodity city held a three-day New Year goods festival before the Spring Festival. The event combined intangible cultural heritage skills with food and foreign goods possessing Qingtian characteristics, allowing citizens to experience intangible cultural heritage and purchase foreign goods close to home.
Chen Junyao, an official of the import commodity city group, said, "Discounted prices and consumption vouchers were also provided during the event, making high-quality imported goods more accessible."
