Nowadays China is becoming a leader in various spheres of human life, beginning with the production and sale of mass consumption goods, and ending with ultra-precise science and finance industries. Production of daily and essential goods, as well as the sale of those goods - is one of the priorities in the Chinese economy. The city Yiwu is the well-recognized leader in this branch of Chinese business. Yiwu is the largest city in the whole vast China, and perhaps is the largest city-market in the world. It's called so because there you can get absolutely any bulk consumer goods. Yiwu was founded in 1982 specifically for the purpose of wholesale trade. And today it's one of the most advanced trade-cities in the whole country. In local market there are more than 320 thousand kinds of products, which are grouped into more than fifteen hundred categories. The range, which can be found in this market, is so varied that you can find absolutely any product needed in daily life. Yiwu is a city-exhibition, which never stops its activities. It operates 365 days a year. The city itself is more than thirty thousand offices of various Chinese enterprises, plants and factories. It's a place where the light industrial output is represented. The summary area of exhibition venues is about 800 thousand square meters. This guarantees that every visitor is able to communicate and negotiate with manufacturers directly, without intermediaries. Also, all customers are able to evaluate the quality of the goods, which are also represented at the fairgrounds. All contracts are made right there. Also noteworthy is the fact that the daily turnover of Yiwu is about 110 million U.S. dollars. Therefore its market ranks first in China in terms of turnover for nearly two decades. Note that each day about 300 thousand people transact here, and the city send about a thousand containers to almost all countries in the world. This market is mainly represented by light industry goods, like household appliances, clothes, electronics, handbags, jewelry, watches, kitchen accessories, lighting, various photos, TV, video, toys, cosmetics and much more. Such scope of trade certainly contributed to the development of other industries. Yiwu has one of the best in China transport interchanges. There you can see a very convenient infrastructure, detaily thought out logistics and excellent transport connections to the huge Chinese seaports, which is also followed by the development of trade. The daily arrival of thousands of tourists and businessmen has led to the fact that the city has a very well developed system of hotel business. There you can find cheap economy rooms as well as luxury rooms. Among the most popular hotels we can mention BEST WESTERN PREMIER OCEAN, CHENG ZHONG CHENG, COMMERCE, HONG KONG, RAMADA PLAZA ZHIJIANG and TIAN HENG INTERNATIONAL. It is very interesting that production is almost absent in Yiwu. It is difficult to find there a plant or a factory. Trade has swallowed everything |
