Chinese brands to the fore at CIIE

One of the highlights of the category is the world's largest hotpot with a diameter of 10 meters. Resembling a swimming pool, the giant pot can accommodate 56 diners at a time, each of whom would have an exclusive mini pot in the front for dipping their food.

Coming from Southwest China's Chongqing, the pot weighs 13 metric tons and requires two containers for transport. This is the second time for the pot to appear at an international fair, after its debut at the 2015 Milan World Expo.
