Touring around Expo pavilions means more than sightseeing for many visitors, who squeeze in among the crowds to buy international luxury goods or those in limited quantities, the xinhuanews.com.cn reported Friday.
A one-day spot check of Shanghai Expo pavilions found that many luxury goods and the souvenirs in limited quantities were selling out very fast at some popular foreign pavilions. Now some popular souvenirs only accept orders.
French perfume, Australian UGG fashion items, Korean costumes, and Finland wild reindeer skins were must-buy items for many trend followers.
Figures from Shanghai Expo office show that from May 1 to May 23, the total sales volume of commercial goods reached 276.63 million yuan.
