The “2021 Shanghai International Commodity Culture Colorful Month” was unveiled at Waigaoqiao Senlan Commercial City recently. The event is jointly hosted by the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce and the China International Import Expo Bureau to promote high-quality goods from countries participating in the China International Import Expo to enter the Shanghai consumer market.
More than 300 kinds of imported goods in the Free Trade Zone’s national (regional) pavilion are on display, with unique shopping scenarios, which allow consumers to experience the special culture of each country.
An ancient Syrian soap became popular at last year’s CIIE. On June 5, the Syrian Commodity Pavilion brought more local products to the country’s colorful month activity, including essential oil, pure lotion and rose tea made of the world-famous Damascus rose, and various wooden boxes and furniture made of walnut and shells.
According to an official of the Syrian Commodity Pavilion, Syrian commodities are enjoying popularity thanks to the CIIE platform. The pavilion was moved to the second floor of Senlan Commercial City after the CIIE last year. It covers about 80 square meters and plans to bring authentic Syrian cuisine next.
The pavilion also revealed that it is planning to open the first Syrian food hall, and Waigaoqiao Senlan Commercial City is among the options considered for location.
