The eighth Zhongshan auto show was held from May 1-3, with more than 1,000 new automobiles sold during the fair, the organizers said.

The enthusiasm for car purchasing at the event can be attributed to the large government subsidies, numerous new car products, and limited-time car purchase discounts offered by exhibitors.

The exhibition hall of the fair covered an area of about 15,500 square meters, bringing together nearly 30 brands and more than 60 automobile companies, including BYD, Xiaomi Automobile and NIO.
