Every small commodity in the world has a place in Yiwu.
The goods in Yiwu market could stock the entire world.
Yiwu International Trade City has more than 70,000 shops and over two million product types. From Christmas decorations to phone accessories, socks to toys — almost every small item you can imagine is here.
Yiwu's shopkeepers speak several languages. Arab merchants, African buyers, South American customers bargain in the market; translation apps, calculators and hand gestures are their tools of trade.
From a small county with poor transport, Yiwu grew into the world's largest small-commodity hub through sheer diligence. Goods are stocked from four in the morning and shipped from the warehouses at night. Small goods, big business.
