The first China International Consumer Products Expo (CICPE) is to close on 
Monday. With the mission to promote new Haikou to the world, Hainan is striving 
for creating a never-ending "Consumer Expo".

The four-day Expo was co-organized by the Ministry of Commerce and the Hainan 
Provincial government, covering a total exhibition area of 80,000 square 
meters, attracting nearly 1,500 domestic and foreign exhibitors from about 70 
countries and regions.

Haikou, the venue of the Expo, planned and organized the Expo which featured 
the gathering of world's top-notch products with its utmost care and provided a 
full range of services, and also showed the world the new image of the 
provincial capital city of Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP).

In recent years, Haikou has been constantly optimizing the business 
environment, making great efforts to improve infrastructure and the well-being 
of the local people. It has been awarded the titles such as China's charming 
city, China's happiest city, one of China's top ten cities of beauty.

In Haikou, people can experience marine sports at the National Sailing Base 
Public Pier and Holiday Beach, or play golf at Mission Hills Resort; explore 
the strange crystal lava at the World Geological Crater Park, or experience 
Chinese history and culture at Haikou Qilou Old Street and Wugong Temple Scenic 
Area.

Haikou is also a "gathering place for delicacies". The night market is full of 
lights and aromas, and local specialties such as Hainan noodles, rice with 
spicy soup, old salt lemonade and coconut chicken have long-established 
reputation among tourists.

It is the desire of Chinese consumers to "travel around Haikou and Shop around 
the world". There are now four duty-free stores in Haikou, with a wide range of 
products which are good in quality and cheap in prices, and can be picked up 
quickly and conveniently at the airport, railway station and docks after 
shopping.

With the acceleration of the construction of Hainan FTP, Hainan is planning to 
build a globally influential consumer boutique center in Haikou to enhance the 
effect of the Consumer Expo, give full play to the policy advantages of the FTP 
as well as its unique geographical and business advantages to realize its goal 
"buy globally and sell globally".
