Yiwu market, for buyers
Two days at the source
The shape of the day
Yiwu is not a shopping stop; it is a working market of more than five million square metres. We plan the districts before you arrive, keep the day focused on your product list, and put one interpreter beside you from the first stall to the last.
What makes it different
- Market districts chosen around your product list.
- A sourcing guide who knows how the stalls work.
- One interpreter with you all day, not on call.
- A car that waits at the gate, with room for samples.
Step by step
Day 1 · Shanghai to Yiwu
Early departure by car or high-speed rail. After a briefing over lunch, start with the districts that match your product list. We finish when the market closes, not when a tour clock says so.
Day 2 · Market and factory
A second market session for comparisons and samples, then a nearby factory or consolidation warehouse if your list needs one. Return to Shanghai in the evening with the notes and the next steps written down.

Good to know
