With the development of e-commerce in China, many people have tasted the w88 casino games flavor of the Year of the Monkey in advance. Zhang Fucai, a 69-year-old man who lives in a cave dwelling in northern Shaanxi, got a taste of it this year.

Early in the morning on January 26, w88 casino games Zealand’s state banquet chef Madion cooked the w88 casino games Zealand state banquet in a cave dwelling. Zhang Fucai's son spent 621 yuan to order online from a rural Taobao service station, including black gold abalone, mussels, and longevity fish.

At the dining table, Zhang Fucai picked up the yellow steamed buns he ate every day with sliced black gold abalone sandwiched between them. After taking a bite, he exclaimed, "It's chewier than the meat buns."

There are many people like Zhang Fucai who have w88 casino games experiences. Souvenirs, nuts, gifts, fruits, clothing, home appliances... have all become hot-selling products on the "w88 casino games Year's Eve shelves" of major e-commerce platforms such as Taobao, JD.com, and Amazon. In 2015, national online retail sales reached 3,877.3 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 33.3%.

Amazon China found through user data analysis that consumers have an increasing demand for overseas products when purchasing w88 casino games Year gifts.

Not only first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, but also second-tier cities such as Chongqing, Chengdu, Suzhou and Foshan are the "main force" in buying foreign w88 casino games Year goods, rural areas have also become a w88 casino games market for foreign w88 casino games Year goods. A rural promoter from JD.com said that rural consumers are very interested in buying imported snacks and alcoholic products at mid-range prices.

This Spring Festival, the Chinese people’s w88 casino games Year’s Eve dinner not only becomes more “foreign”, but also more “local”. Data shows that local products such as chili sauce, bacon, local eggs, and sausages have become the most popular w88 casino games Year’s Eve dinner ingredients.

People are especially fond of the specialties of their hometowns: cheese and beef are indispensable on the Inner Mongolian w88 casino games Year’s Eve dinner table; beef balls and Cantonese-style sausages are indispensable on the Guangdong w88 casino games Year’s Eve dinner table; more than 40% of Fujian consumers’ w88 casino games Year’s goods list includes Jin Junmei, Lapsang Souchong and other Fujian good teas...

It is worth mentioning that these local specialties are not only loved by local residents, but also "entered the city" and "crossed the province", attracting residents across the country to buy them, and even went abroad. For example, Inner Mongolia beef jerky is sold across the country and occupies nearly 70% of the market share. "National Snacks" nuts are mainly sold to Zhejiang, Guangdong, Fujian, Guangdong, Beijing and other regions. Guizhou's local goods gift package has entered Hong Kong and w88 casino games Territories families, and local goods have flown to Australia alone...

According to the latest research released by Nielsen recently, China’s consumer confidence index reached 107 in the fourth quarter of 2015. Although China's economic growth slowed down in 2015, consumers' consumption desire continued to rise.
