This year's Exhibition covers an area of 26,000 square meters, offering 1,300 standard booths.

There will also be other peripheral products on display, including pieces of furniture, handicrafts, snacks, and clothes related to tea. 

Visitors will be able to feel for themselves the charm of tea culture through a series of side events during the Exhibition, such as a tea-whisking ("diancha") and tea-making ("doucha") contest to be participated by 100 contestants from Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, a forum on the innovation, entrepreneurship and development of the tea culture for universities and colleges, and a tea salon using English language. The combination of diverse tea elements can satiate even the most diverse needs and contribute to the ongoing branding of the "Chinese-style Tea Exhibition."
