  (Last year) we found that even though the (booth) was small, we were attached to its booth (Oriental Beauty Valley), and a lot of professional visitors came to stop, so this made us feel very happy and surprised.

Because in fact, we found that the Expo has a strong spillover effect on the brand.

So this year we have set up a special (independent) booth of 108 square meters.

Therefore, our booth has been expanded this year, and the decoration has become more beautiful. We look forward to a better performance in the Chinese market.
