The 10-year-old Tmall Singles Day festival created by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, which falls on Nov 11, has reached a new high with 213.5 billion yuan ($30.67 billion) of sales and 1.04 billion express packages this year.

Now let’s take a look at the best-sellers of 16 categories on Tmall’s Singles Day festival this year.
