A city that sells
to the whole planet.

What is Yiwu?

Yiwu is a city in Zhejiang province, about 300 km south of Shanghai, and home to the world’s largest small-commodities market. Toys, jewelry, kitchenware, festival goods, tools, textiles — if it sits on a shelf somewhere in the world, odds are it passed through here.

For first-time importers Yiwu is the easiest door into China: factory prices, famously low minimum orders, and every part of the chain — suppliers, warehouses, forwarders, inspection — concentrated in one city.
