Answer to One China Travel Question
|
| | Q: I have heard about yiwu. Is it true thatYiwu is the only place in China where I can buy fashion jewerellery and dresses very cheap? Can I communicate with traders in English?
| | A: Yiwu is not the only place where you can buy small goods at wholesale prices, but it is the best known and the economy of scale seems have paid off for Yiwu. It is said that now at the small commodity market in Yiwu there are now over 50,000 booths, carrying 300,000 kinds of goods in over 1,000 categories. As result, even though Yiwu is really a small town and is not very ideally located - it is in central Zhejiang Province, 120 kilometers from the provincial capital Hangzhou and 300 kilometers southwest of Shanghai - it nonetheless has become the place where merchants across China and from abroad go to do their purchasing.
