Yiwu｜Stop just thinking of Yiwu as a place to stock up! This city walk is sweet to the point of intoxication

Who would have thought! Yiwu is not just a "paradise for stocking up" with its trade city, but a treasure small city hiding a thousand years of everyday life and international trendy vibes! The joy of wandering through the streets and alleys is something you only realize once you’re here~

Head straight to the International Trade City in the morning, where 75,000 shops will have you happily exhausted! The Sanrio merchandise in Area 1 drives girls crazy with excitement, and the imported goods pavilion in Area 5 instantly transports you abroad, with one-stop shopping for Korean, Japanese, and American beauty products, as well as Middle Eastern spices. Every snap you take is filled with a healing shopping vibe. Remember to try the "One Day Merchant" experience—collecting business cards from shops around the world feels incredibly rewarding!

In the afternoon, stroll along the cobblestone streets of Fotang Ancient Town, where Ming and Qing dynasty architecture blends with babbling streams. The more authentic Jiangnan charm here even surpasses Wuzhen. At dusk, climb Jiming Pavilion; when the city lights come on, overlooking the city’s glowing lights with the antique pavilion creates the feeling of stepping into a real-life version of the "Sleepless City of the Song Dynasty."

When night falls, you must rush to Santing Road Night Market! The lively street atmosphere offers local intangible cultural heritage delicacies like Yaoshi vinegar-fried chicken, as well as exotic flavors like Korean stir-fried rice cakes and Turkish kebabs. The sticky sweet sugar dumplings and freshly baked small cakes will win you over in one bite—you won’t want to leave even late into the night. If you prefer Korean food, the Korean-style barbecue and jajangmyeon on Nanshanli Korean Street will make you feel like you’re on the streets of Seoul in no time~

This city, half filled with everyday life and half a poetic dreamscape, holds so many unexpected surprises. With the weather just right now, hurry and add Yiwu to your travel list!
