The 5th Double 12 Suzhou Shopping Festival kicked off at the Suzhou International Expo Center in Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) on Dec. 7.
This year’s shopping festival will last until the middle of February next year, going through several important holidays such as Winter solstice, New Year’s Day, the Spring Festival, and the Lantern Festival. It features more than 800 promotional activities online and offline in 10 key fields, covering business circle consumption, automobile consumption, home furnishings and appliances, dining and beverage consumption, and cultural tourism.
Since 2020, Suzhou has held the Double Five Shopping Festival and the Double 12 Shopping Festival in the first and second half of the year respectively to effectively stimulate both online and offline consumption. This year’s Double 12 Suzhou Shopping Festival features, for the first time, a 3-day special market themed on “made-in Suzhou” products. Covering nearly 10,000 square meters, the market provides a one-stop purchasing platform for consumers.
