Could Yiwu be the destination of your next business trip?

Traveling to China with an empty suitcase is trending on social media, and for many visitors Yiwu is the undisputed highlight of their trip.

Known as the world's supermarket, Yiwu International Trade City houses over 75,000 booths. If you would spend just one minute at each booth and shop nonstop for eight hours every day, it would take you 156 days to cover the entire market.

Lately this sprawling marketplace has spawned a popular new occupation: Yiwu purchasing agents. They accompany merchants to source goods, serving as interpreters and guides, while also helping compare prices, connect with suppliers, and arrange packaging and delivery.

On major travel platforms, "Yiwu one-day tour" and "shopping with purchasing agents" have become hit travel products.

A growing number of overseas buyers are adopting a new model business trip when visiting Yiwu, namely signing orders while traveling. They tour the market, watch merchants' livestreams and confirm orders in the morning, and pack goods labeled Made in China into their suitcases in the afternoon. From product design and payment settlement to warehousing and logistics, Yiwu has built a complete and mature industrial and service chain for trade.

Will you choose Yiwu the next time you combine business and travel?
