Two new offshore duty-free shops opened on Sunday in Haikou, capital of south China's island province of Hainan, raising the number of duty-free shops in the province to nine.
The Global Premium Duty Free Plaza, run by a local company, is located in a large shopping center in downtown Haikou. The products on sale include electronic products, perfumes, cosmetics, sunglasses and imported wine, among others.
The plaza launched its first phase on Sunday, with its second and third phases due by the end of June and September this year, respectively.
The other duty-free shop, run by a company based in the southern city of Shenzhen, offers nearly 500 international brands in a shopping area of 20,000 square meters.
