A large 4.5-meter-tall and 15-meter-long LED screen to be used for publicity purposes was unveiled in the departure area of the T2 terminal at Pudong International Airport in recent days. This "magic" wall features smart sensing and interactive technologies, allowing human-machine interaction.

Although most citizens will not have the opportunity to gain access to the imported goods showcased at the upcoming CIIE (China International Import Expo), as only visitors in groups and those who have registered with their real names will be admitted, people can see them at the newly-launched Hongqiao Imported Commodities Center.

With the China International Import Expo approaching, three legal services centers have been set up to better serve the global exhibitors and buyers. Initiated by the Shanghai Bureau of Justice, the three centers - the International Legal Service Center for CIIE, the People’s Mediation Center for CIIE and the Xujing Town Joint Mediation Center for CIIE – were inaugurated early this month.

To support the first China International Import Expo (CIIE), Shanghai Customs has carried out a raft of measures to facilitate easier Customs clearance, including one-time information records, and a one-stop declaration and examination service.

SPECIAL Shanghainese snacks such as steamed and pan-fried buns, soup dumplings, sticky rice cakes and beef cellophane noodles are now available at an “old Shanghai streets” themed restaurant inside the National Exhibition and Convention Center.
