As the leading platform for China's silver industry, the 6th SIC is further expanding the four major pavilions, including the Barrier-free Pavilion, the Rehabilitation and Care Pavilion, the Smart Elderly Care Pavilion and the Elderly Care Real Estate Pavilion. It will also upgrade the special pavilions of elderly care services, the longevity townships, and nursing beds and mobile aids. There will be a debut pavilion of hearing aids for the elderly.
