Yiwu mapSurrounded by mountains on three sides, Yiwu City is located in the central Zhejiang Province, covering an area of 1,105 square kilometers (about 426 square miles). In the year 222 BC, the Emperor Ying Zheng of the Qin Dynasty (221BC-206 BC) set up a county here. At present, there is a county-level government of Zhejiang Province, governing 8 towns and 5 subdistricts. Compared with the other big cites of China, Yiwu is small, but it has the largest commodity market in China. This, along with Yiwu's mild climate has made it a tourism highlight in recent years.

Beautiful Xiuhu Lake and cliffy Songpu Hill attracted a series of historic poets and scholars who were compelled to express their appreciation of the city's beauty. Yiwu is also the hometown of a number of historic people from ancient times. For example, Luo Binwang - one of the great patriotic poets in the Tang Dynasty (618-907), Zong Ze - the patriotic general of Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), Zhu Danxi - one of the four famous doctors of the Jin and Yuan dynasties as well as Chen Wangdao, Feng Xuefeng and Wu Han, all of whom have made their contributions to the modern China. During your trip to this city, you will have chances to visit their hometowns which lie around Yiwu City.

Yiwu is renowned as a shopping paradise for small commodities. The flourishing markets which take up a large area of the city should not be missed. Yiwu provides a different kind of tour experience, for it is a composite of shopping and tour. The Yiwu International Trade City which makes up the China's Commodities Trade City with Huangyuan Market and Binwang Market presents you with the city's unique vigor. This is an excellent place to purchase souvenirs for you and your relatives and friends.

If you would like to explore the city on your own, convenient buses will take you to any corner of the city. On the way, it is easy for you to find some delicious local foods. You can have a good dinner either at the reasonable and friendly roadside booths or at one of the quality restaurants. In addition, foods from other regions of China and western food are available here.

Catering to the city's prosperous economy and accelerating its urbanization, the city has developed a number of public facilities, including star-rated hotels, convenient transportation and amusement places. You can access the city from Xiaoshan Airport which is connected to Yiwu by frequent shuttle buses. Yiwu welcomes visitors from all over the world.

I want to go to Yiwu for the purchase of some electronics like Laptops,Mobile Phones and Video camcoders.I want to know if the Yiwu International market is better in terms of prices for these goods, compared with the Guangzhuo International Market? Secondly, how can i get to this address in Yiwu - 12F, Building 4, SEG Industrial Park, Futian Market, Yiwu, China.

Mr.sandy replied:

No, comparatively, Shenzhen is the best market to buy electronics. There is no direct air and railway connections between Luohe and Yiwu. You can take train to Suzhou and then change another one to Yiwu.

Jan. 19,2010 06:56
Mr.INTERPRETER_GUIDE(China) replied:

Yes, Shenzhen is the best place to buy that kind of products.
