The opening ceremony was recently held for eight branch parks of a major cross-border e-commerce park located in Quzhou – in East China's Zhejiang province – according to local media reports, which said they were expected to provide a major boost to the sector for the city.

The inauguration, on Aug 19, was held for the sub-parks of the China (Quzhou) Cross-border E-commerce Comprehensive Test Zone Off-line Park.

The branch parks are expected to attract top cross-border e-commerce enterprises from home and aboard and promote the construction of pilot parks in each district in Quzhou.
