More than 100 indigenous brands from Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan, exhibited their products in Beijing on April 17.

The event, hosted by the Chengdu municipal government, was to promote local brands and industries from Chengdu.

The products ranged from food and beverages to handicrafts and technology.

Some of the brands also took part in the Asia International Food Exposition 2017 held in Beijing recently. Many of the brands are now available on major e-commerce sites like Taobao and JD.com.
