A gourmet carnival – A Taste of Zhejiang and CEEC-Culinary Culture Exchange – in line with the second China-CEEC Expo & International Consumer Goods Fair was held in Laowaitan, or the Old Bund – a central area in Ningbo on June 7.

"We will present a perfect and unforgettable 'sweet date on the bite' to the Ningbo locals," said a person in charge.

In addition, a slew of cultural activities such as a European classical oil painting exhibition and livestreamings of web celebrities from CEEC also served as the sidelines of the carnival.

The three-day event in the port city of Ningbo has more than 100 booths, which are ready for entertaining foodies with delicacies and snacks from both CEEC and Zhejiang. [Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn]
