The 4th Time-Honored Brand Expo China opened on Thursday in Hangzhou, capital of eastern China's Zhejiang Province.

Xinhua News Agency reported that over 100 time-honored brands from across the country have joined in the 4-day event, displaying their traditional handicrafts, foods, wines, and other intangible cultural heritage products.

The expo has already attracted over one million visitors and has effectively prevented these traditional Chinese time-honored brands from being forgotten.
