"The pots and stoves are all painted with bright colors!" "The tableware and kitchen utensils are arranged (neatly)!" September 15th is one day away from the opening of the 18th West China Expo. It's drizzling and misty, and merchants participating in the first Leshan International Food Festival in Xibo City are stepping up their equipment to enter the venue. Leshan will bring 105 well-known catering brands to the West China Expo this time. "The busyness you see before you will be transformed into the taste of Leshan tomorrow to be presented to global guests." said the relevant person in charge of the Leshan Municipal Commerce Bureau.

The outfield is in full swing, and the construction of the Leshan Comprehensive Image Exhibition Hall in the infield has also reached a critical stage.

"The project focuses more on cultural interactive experience and is expected to attract 3 million tourists every year."

In the ears are the cries of "Taiping dried tofu, it tastes very good, eat it and play with your son"; in front of you are the ear-picking and rubbing Traditional special services such as shoes, sugar paintings, dough sculptures, and character sketches are also available; the aftertaste of sweet duck, stilted beef, and spicy hotpot lingers on the tip of the tongue.
