"We raised a request to the enterprises that the product quality must be guaranteed," according to Cui Weixia, an official from Chongchuan district commerce bureau.

With its large scale, variety of products and high quality, the fair attracted nearly 40 participating enterprises. The goods include garments, bedding, sporting goods, personal care products, imported snacks, bags and suitcases.

Starting from Sept 11 and lasting for at least one month, the fair will be open from 7 pm to 9 pm each Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
