第25届广州国际玩具及模型展览会、第4届广州童车及婴童用品展览会于8日在广州琶洲拉开大幕，当天吸引了包括俄罗斯、美国、印尼、新加坡以及港澳等地境内外采购商超1万人前来参观。

Guangzhou (CNS) -- The 25th Guangzhou International Toy and Hobby Fair opened in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, on Monday.

The fair features an exhibition area of 47,200 square meters, with 2,300 exhibition booths. Over 10,000 buyers from Russia, America, and Indonesia have signed up for the exhibit.

New products such as high-tech toys and derivative products of the animation industry are exhibited at the fair.

"Merely lower prices cannot attract customers now," said a staff member at Eastcolight (Hong Kong) Ltd. "Improving product design and quality is key to occupying the market."

Serving as a weather vane for the toy industry in China, the annual fair has been held since 1989.

It will go through Wednesday at the Poly World Trade Expo Center in Guangzhou.
