Ningbo companies have attracted much attention at the 11th China-Indonesia Export Brand Joint Expo 2026 in Jakarta.

Alongside advanced manufacturing products, exhibitors have been displaying a range of cultural and creative items, including handmade fans, city-themed puzzles, and traditional paper-cut drum lanterns.

Company representatives also introduced overseas visitors to Ningbo's rich history, vibrant culture, and world-class port, while inviting them to experience traditional Chinese craft-making firsthand.

"I have been to Ningbo because one of our suppliers is based there," said Jonathan, an exhibitor at the event. "Their product quality is among the best I have seen. Seeing landmarks such as Tianyi Pavilion and Gulou on the city puzzle makes me even more convinced that Ningbo is a beautiful city with great potential."

The exhibition covered 50,000 square meters and brought together nearly 1,000 companies from China, Indonesia, Malaysia, and other countries. Around 50,000 professional buyers were attracted.
