It was not a lucky day for me today. Earlier in the morning I headed to Gangding second-hand computers markets, only found the two large computer markets(Jinqiao second-hand computer market and Haizheng second-hand computer market) I planned to buy from were in renovation. Anyway, I made alternatives to Xiyang Computer City, where there were also lots of second-hand computers, computer accessories, etc.

I wouldn’t be buying used stuffs for daily uses coz I need a good quality one that can endure the test of time, but I do need a cheap alternative that I use only several times in a month outside, and even if it is stolen I would not feel bad coz it is cheap. Sometime I wonder if it’s the same psychological factory that more and more ordinary people buy copied branded products.

Xiyang Computer City is located on No. 115, Shipai west road, as you can see clearly on the following picture. The main gate is a bit smaller, but inside you can find almost everything related to computers.

It was a little bit dark inside. On the first floor, you can find second-hand computers of various brands including Apple Macbook, Toshiba, Samsung, Lenovo, Dell, etc. with different internal configuration. Whether you are looking for the latest second-hand model computer or computers launched a few years ago, you can easily get them here at very low price.

Usually, the price ranges from several hundred to several thousand rmb, depending on the model. For cheaper ones, you can get at even four hundred or five hundred rmb. Usually they come with one year warranty.

On the second and third floors, you can find LCD panel, CPU, hard disk, etc.

Known as “Factory of the World”, China never runs shortage of consumer goods, among which a large part are counterfeits. If you are looking to snap up some fake products at a small fraction of what the original counterparts cost, then you can’t pass up on Baiyun World Leather Center in Guangzhou, a huge fake market for shopaholics who aren’t too fussed about authenticity.

Baiyun World Leather Center is within a stone’s throw from Sanyuanli metro station. From the first glance, you would be perplexed at the rumors that the crackdown on copy markets is simply exaggerated. Upon entering the main gate, you’ll immediately be bombarded with vendors selling fake products and those “self appointed guides” who pounce on you touting counterfeits.

Once inside, it’s a warren of stores selling a variety of fake products ranging from handbags, wallets, belts, clothes, shoes, hats, glasses, jewelry, etc. Basically you can find fake counterparts of any brands either in the shops or hidden in secret rooms away from the cops.

Haggling is the name of the game. Don’t feel bad for pushing back a low price because it’s the nature of most people selling replica goods in China trying to rip customers off as much as possible. For example, for a fake Gucci handbag that was quoted at 1300 RMB at first and was said to be made from 1:1 grade with imported Italian leather might settle down at 300 RMB. If they say no, use the walk away strategy to see if they would call you back. Even not, there is no need to worry as you walk around you’ll find more and more shops repeating themselves with similar products. Chances are, the shop in the opposite is selling exactly the same item at a much favorable price.

To the greatest of my surprise, ultimately any brand is available. And even in a small shop I found a logo printing machine with moulds of Gucci, LV, Prada, AF…you can choose your brand and it would be done in 2 minutes. To contribute to its authenticity, fake fapiao(invoices) from the original shops in Hongkong and POS receipts were also provided.

A rule of thumb for buying in Baiyun World Leather Center is that you’ll get your goods at about 18:00-19:00pm the same day or you can get tomorrow. It’s suggested to leave for the next day pick up as sometimes you might end up waiting till 20:00-21:00pm to get your goods. Most suppliers would expect you to pay in full when you are placing the order. Don’t do that unless your order is less than 300 RMB. Once it exceeds, just pay a small upfront deposit, and pay the rest after checking all the items as sellers may try to sneak some defected items in between or there might be problems with sizes/colors.

What we suggest not to do

• Don’t follow the self-appointed guides to buy copy goods in secret offices.
• Don’t stay in the markets till 6 or 7 unless you want to get stuck in the horrendous traffic jam.
• Above all, don’t buy replicas.

Note: Business in Guangzhou does not involve in any transaction of copied goods, neither does BIG advocate any counterfeiting business. This post does provide information about the city-Guangzhou, where I call home. However, I strongly believe supporting businesses selling replica goods does encourage the culture of counterfeiting while killing creativity, which China has received lots of public international condemn, to a great extent, the kind of counterfeiting has brought us great shame in an international stage.

Guangzhou is home to hundreds of clothing wholesale markets of different scales. The number might seem mind-blowing at the beginning; however, if you’re a frequent visitor to Guangzhou, you know for sure it’s not exaggerated. Dubbed as “Fashion Capital of China”, the city houses the biggest number of China garment wholesale markets, and it’s growing. It’s challenging to visit the hundreds of Guangzhou clothes wholesale markets one by one as they scatter around different parts of the city. To make things easy, we’ve compiled a list of 8 clothing wholesale centers in Guangzhou based on geographic location, each apparel wholesale business center houses at least several multi-floors clothing wholesale buildings.

6. Changgang Business Center

Compared with its siblings Shisanghang and Shahe, Changgang business district seems to shy away from public. However, you can find great deals of low to medium quality clothes there, sometimes the clothes are even sold by gram. Here’re some clothes markets in Changgang.

Haiguan Clothes Wholesale Center
Huijin Clothes Wholesale Center
Xingshida Fashion City
Yuehao Clothes Trading Center

8. Jiangnan Dadao Business Center

Haizhu Wedding City
Guangzhou Wedding Street
Qingchenghui Wedding Plaza
Xingchenhui Wedding Center Plaza

Jades are often known to be sold in luxury, polished malls at exorbitant prices, however, the jades wholesale market in Guangzhou is a completely different scene. It’s more like a down to earth flea market with gems and jades easily affordable to the public, and that’s what I like about the city.

The China jades wholesale market is ideally located around the landmark of Guangzhou – Hualin temple, centered by Hualin International that consists of five buildings A, B, C, D, E. Each multi-level building houses hundreds of shops dedicated to an extensive range of jades, precious stones, gold, to name a few.

The entrance of Hualin Jewelry and Jade City.

Inside the China jewelry wholesale market, jades are stacked in the store front. Jade pendants and bracelets are everywhere.

A counter with jewelry at fixed prices.

Pearl necklaces and bracelets are usually hung on the walls of some shops.

A shop selling A grade jades at CNY￥260 per piece.

Apart from jades, pearls and other jewelry, you can find an expansive range of accessories for jewelry like strings, ribbons, jewelry boxes, etc.

Some shops also sell pearls by bags, a perfect choice for those who want to custom the design, length, etc. For those who want to save all the hassles of threading beads onto strings yet crave for customization, the greatest part about the jades wholesale market is that some China jewelry manufacturers offer bead threading service, what you have to do is just buy the beads, strings and other accessories you want to thread onto the strings.

Ambers on sale in a shop

It was in the morning of the low season when we visited, and the jades market was empty.

Surprisingly, we also found a shop selling crocodile teeth, and other crocodile products including crocodile leather bags, shoes, wallets and belts.

Hidden behind the modern, multi-level jades wholesale building is a huge scale flea market specializing in jades. At first glance, it was like walking into a factory, hundreds of vendors set up easy, tiny stalls with several chairs and few display boards. You can find an extensive range of jewelry including jades, ambers, pearls, Buddhism ornaments, etc.

Those of you who’ve frequented the city know that there’s an endless maze of alleys and markets on every corner, Guangzhou, if not said exaggeratedly, is a shopaholic’s bonanza. Latest in trends and light on the pocket, that essentially describes wholesale markets in China. If you are travelling to Guangzhou and wondering which markets to visit for your footwear business, I’ve combed the city and come up with a list of top 6 shoes wholesale markets in Guangzhou that you should consider on your shopping itinerary.

1. Guangzhou Metropolis Shoes City

Guangzhou metropolis shoes city is nestled right at the intersection of Jiefangnan road and daxin road. It accommodates more than 800 shops selling shoes at insanely low price in a 22,000 m² space.

Guangzhou metropolis shoes city is filled to the brim with a stunning variety of shoes, including sandals, sneakers, slippers, boots, heels, wedges and sports shoes at wholesale prices that you can resell for a nifty profit.

Shoes on sale at this Guangzhou shoes wholesale market are of medium to low quality as most of them are crafted from PU. A major downside about Metropolis shoes city is most of the shoes on display are without stocks but the MOQ is quite small usually 12 pieces per design, mixed sizes.

Nearest metro station: Exit B3, Haizhu Square, Line2/6.

Tips: The neighborhood is chock full of various wholesale markets in Guangzhou. Take a stroll around if you are looking for an interesting find.

2. Xinhuanan Shoes Wholesale City

Located a bit out of town, Xinhuanan shoes wholesale city is the largest of its kind in South China, with an area of 100, 000 square meters, housing over 700 shops.

A nirvana for shoes, expect to find a surprisingly huge palette of footwear in Xinhuanan shoes wholesale city, sports shoes, high heels, sandals, flip-flops, to name a few.

What’s neat about Xinhuanan shoes wholesale city is you can find shoes from different regions (mainly shoes manufacturing bases) in different parts of China, like Fujian, Wuchuan, Wenzhou, Chongqing, etc.

Address: No. 1629 Guangzhou Dadaonan, Haizhu District, Guangzhou

3. Global International Trade Center

The markets in Guangzhou railway station have reached a landmark status as a must-visit spot for wholesalers and traders. The sheer size and whopping assortment of merchandise will bring any seasoned shoppers to their knees – it’s a place where you shop till you drop.

Global international trade center, also known as Bu Yun Tian Di, is strategically located in the center of Guangzhou railway station within walking distance from Exit F of Guangzhou Railway Station metro stop, line 2/5.

The multi-floor shoes trading center is jam-packed with all kinds of footwear. The underground floor specializes in shoes for kids, while the 1st to the 3rd floors offer more comprehensive options. For those with an eye for better quality and style, you can’t miss the 4th-10th floors that house enormous showrooms and offices.

One drawback about shopping in Guangzhou for foreigners is size problem. Particularly in regards to shoes as Asians tend to have smaller feet.

4. Guangzhou EuroCommercial Plaza Shoes City

Nestled beneath Bu Yun Tian Di shoes market in Guangzhou Railway Station that is anchored by knock-offs, Guangzhou EuroCommericial Plaza Shoes City is a much preferred option as you can get some real bargains at super low prices.

Though dwarfed by size while compared with Global International Trade Center, EuroCommercial Plaza Shoes City has nothing left behind with the 1^st to 3^rd floors dedicated to shoes and other leather products, while the 4^th floor with a series of dining options fulfill a quick hunger pain.

Nearest metro station: Exit F, Guangzhou Railway Station, Line2/5.

Guangzhou xinhuanan shoes wholesale city, in particular, is abbreviated as Huanan shoes city. Xin, which means new in Chinese, while Huanan refers to South China. In literal translation it means New South China shoes wholesale city. Imagine a wholesale market being officially granted with the name of a massive region South China, it’s not hard to know its leading position in China footwear industry and why it worth the efforts commuting as the footwear wholesale market is located in the outskirt of Guangzhou.

How to get to Huanan shoes wholesale city?

Location: Guangzhou Dadao Nan

From 28^th to 31^st May 2019, the 2019 Guangzhou International Shoes Machinery Material Leather Industry Fair took place in Poly World Trade Center Exhibition Hall, Guangzhou, China. The BIG team attended the event and now brings you a recap of the China shoes trade fair, largest of its kind in Asia.

The 2019 Guangzhou International Shoes Machinery Material Leather Industry Fair, as the name sounds, exhibits a vast myriad of products not limited to shoes, but also materials like synthetic leather, genuine leather, accessories, laser cutting machines, sewing machines, printing machines, to name a few. Such an important shoes fair shows us what’s currently going on in China footwear industry, furthermore, it offers an amazing opportunity to meet China wholesale footwear manufacturers and exporters all around the world.

It’s a fun place to be a visitor or exhibitor, and we had some interesting encounters.

Photos from 2019 Guangzhou International Shoes Machinery Material Leather Industry Fair

In the free-wheeling city of Guangzhou without too much interference from Beijing, the shady business of fakes has ballooned into a thriving industry. It’s not exaggerated to say Guangzhou shopping is anchored by knockoffs. When you are surfing online or roaming around the markets in Guangzhou, then you bunch into your dream Gucci shoes at only a small fraction of cost compared with the original counterparts, it is time to be aware. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

One of the most counterfeited products is footwear. If proof were needed then Guangzhou Guoda Shoes Mall that is chock full of knock-off shoes would make a compelling “Exhibit A”.

Located in the outskirt of Baiyun District, Guoda Shoes Mall is not as eye-catching while compared with other fake markets in Guangzhou Railway Station and the fake handbags wholesale market in Guihuagang. However, with business blooming measures have been taken to combat the grey business. Guoda fake shoes market was reported by CCTV(China Central Television) in 2014, became notoriously known as a grey market for fake shoes. No sooner the police raided and Guoda copy shoes market was cleaned up. Nevertheless, it’s like playing the game of cat and mouse. Three years passed, now the copy shoes market is still in its heyday.

A step inside Guangzhou Guoda shoes mall, you would be welcomed by an insanely vast array of knock-off shoes in different grades. Those fake shoes with exactly the same brand tags of the original ones or purposely misspelling of certain letter were displayed prominently on the shelves, tempting tourists and businessmen alike. Here is a list of most counterfeited brands as you stroll around Guoda copy shoes market: Armani, Gucci, Ferragamo, Dolce&Gabbana, Prada, Versace, Burberry, etc.

Counterfeit shoes emblazoned with brand names or names similar to original brand names can be easily found in Guangzhou wholesale market.

If you happen to come on the days when the police are doing their routine check, the copy shoes market is completely different as you can’t find any shoes with brand names. Usually they get insider’s news and remove all the copy shoes before the police come. Even though, it wouldn’t make too much difference as most sales are armed with tablets and would be trying to show you the pictures of copy shoes from their wechat moments.

Guoda shoes mall is also the breeding place for countless weishang(sellers on wechat) and taobao shops. As you can see lots of shops have wechat code on the store front or on the business card. You can check all the photos on wechat and place order there.

Unlike original branded shoes that are a touch on the expensive side, A+ grade copy shoes in Guangzhou answer all what your hankerings call for without breaking your wallet. However, if you are in the hunt for copied shoes, you must be more cautious as the sellers in the fake markets tend to rip everyone off as much as possible.

Guangzhou is not the major manufacturing base for fake shoes in China. More exactly, Guangzhou is a trading center of copy shoes since it was awarded as the best city to do business in China mainland.

Most of the replica shoes in Guangzhou can be traced back to Putian, a “nest” for fake shoes manufacturing that are primarily designed for export. Over the years the knowledge of making fakes has advanced so much that even the most experienced people have a hard time telling the differences apart.

Notes:

Business in Guangzhou does not involve or advocate any kind of business related to replica goods. This post is information about Guangzhou, a special city I called home for decades.

We kindly remind you to be cautious, and stay away from fake products.  If you’re on the hunt to import wholesale shoes from China, we suggest you to buy from legal channels like our partner 26 Trading with over 15 years of experience manufacturing and exporting shoes from China. They can be reached at ido@26trading.com.

Tips for importing shoes from China

1. Haggling and negotiating on price is always part of the shopping game in most China shoes wholesale markets.

2. Stay away from copy shoes with brand names.

3. Make sure the sizes are converted to the sizes in your country as usually Chinese sizes are used in either clothes and shoes in China wholesale markets.

4. Check footwear regulations in your country before importing shoes from China. For example, there’re some regulations in countries like European Union and United States that you must comply with.

A vital part in planning a budget to launch your new line of shoes, international shipping can make or break a business. If not planned well, it can snowball into an exorbitant cost that catches many startups off guard. It doesn’t necessarily mean international shipping of footwear costs an arm and a leg, the truth is, many variables and factors come into play in an accurate shipping quote. As with many other aspects of getting your line of shoes manufactured in China, it needs a solid groundwork to be fully prepared.

International shipping fee should be taken into account in the early stage so it can work into your budget. However, at the beginning stage, you might only be able to get an estimate of shipping cost, with constant fluctuations of shipping fees affected by various factors like routes, fuel prices, demands due to important national holidays such as Chinese New Year, and other unexpected circumstances.

The best time to reevaluate your initial shipping budget is in the midway of your shoes production process when you’re able to tell more exactly the shipping time, and packing list to get a more accurate, confirmed quote. Though in the early stage you might be able to request a quote, however, you’ll risk making a wrong business plan if done too early, unpredictable factors such as delay of delivery time as it happens a lot. For example, your supplier might tell you one key component they sourced from downstream supplier would take an extra few days to arrive, or there’re some prominent quality issues found in the quality inspection process, and the factory needs an extra week to correct all the mistakes.

Most factories in China don’t charge warehousing fee even if your shipper picks up the goods a few weeks later, however, most carriers or shipping agents do apply warehousing fee if your goods are kept in the warehouse longer than the free period they provide. Most carriers or shipping agents do provide free warehousing if you use their service, but most free warehousing is available for 1-3 days. If you footwear are shipped in 5 days, an additional warehousing fee would incur. Whatever warehousing options, it’s vital to understand when the warehousing fee would be applied, and schedule shipping to minimize your costs.

About to import wholesale shoes from China? The following are some major models of shipping to take into consideration when shipping footwear from China.

By Air

Door to Door

The most expensive and fastest way of shipping, air courier is the second to none choice for small volume urgent deliveries. With express international shipping provided by carriers like DHL, UPS, EMS and FEDEX, the goods can arrive at your doorstep within 3-5 business days from your shoes factory in China. As is easily noticeable, the biggest perk is the goods are picked up from your doorstep and then deliver directly to the customers’, however, the biggest tradeoff is exorbitant shipping fees. If you ship frequently, be sure to consult the courier directly or contact their first grade agent, usually they can give you a much discounted rate for bulk orders.

Airport to Airport

A cheaper alternative to express shipping, air freight ships from airport to airport, and takes around 5-10 business days. As you can tell from the name, the greatest pitfall is you have to arrange delivery to the airport, and then pick up from destination airport. It’s a more alternative option for those who crave for a faster delivery time than shipping by sea but can not afford the exorbitant price of shipping from door to door. The shipping cost for a pair of footwear from China to USA by air freight, is somewhere from USD $8-20.

By Truck

Most start ups tend to not be aware of the shipping costs by truck especially when shipping from airport to airport or by sea. Trucking is an integral part of both shipping methods as you have to arrange a truck to transport the goods either to a warehouse in the airport or directly to the port. When the goods arrive at the destination airport or port, you’ll also need a trucking service to discharge all the goods. In some circumstances, the trucking fee is not included in the shipment quote. It’s always safe to double check with your carrier whether the trucking fee is included or not, as sometimes it can be a huge amount if your footwear factory is in Zhongshan while the shipping port is in Guangzhou. Worse, it’s during peak season of Chinese New Year when the cost can ridiculously skyrocketed to twice or three times more than what it actually costs at normal time.

As each shipping method has its ins and outs, and it’s not uncommon for some companies to use various shipping methods across a single order production. For example, samples used for marketing purpose will be shipped by express shipping while the mass order will go by sea. Knowing which method best suits your business schedule is the key. A well-planned, organized shipping will lead to a more cost-effective, timely delivery.

The city sells almost everything no stranger to garment with a humongous amount of China clothes factories sprung up a few decades ago. You’ll run into a vast array of lovely boutiques at Taikoo if you are looking for clothes in downtown Guangzhou, however, the astronomical price tag might probably drive you away as it is unbelievably high. So where should you go for clothes that can fit an average budget without compromising on quality?

It is never a difficult task to find affordable clothes in Guangzhou as there are lots of large-scale, famous markets as well as shops around Guangzhou metro lines or in the neighboring outskirt of the city. The following are the top three famous garment markets in Guangzhou where you can get quality goods on a budget.

• Shisanhang clothes wholesale markets
• Shahe clothes wholesale markets
• Zhanxi clothes wholesale markets

The challenge, in the easy task of getting affordable fashion garment in Guangzhou, is to avoid junk during your smart search. Look out not to get imitation even in branded shops or outlet stores. Some people are targeted at replica goods while others are trying to get away from them. However, a neat thing about replicas is that they are now of much better quality, especially 1:1 quality ones than they used to be. It happened to many foreigners that after wearing the shoes or clothes after a couple of times, they tear up because of poor quality. However, one thing you should keep in mind while shopping at Guangzhou clothes wholesale markets: Changing rooms are rare. Don’t think you can change your mind and get the money back after several days or several hours of confirming the order.

Now, let’s delve into these clothes wholesale markets in China.

1. Guangzhou Shisanhang Clothing Wholesale Market Area 广州十三行服装批发市场

What to be aware of while buying from China clothes wholesale markets?

• Opening time: Some markets open in the earlier morning and close at noon like 13:00pm while some markets open from 9:00-10:00am to 18:00-19:00pm.
• Traffic: Traffic can be a nightmare if you rent a car for a day to go to different markets. Parking and getting stuck in the road will kill most of the day. It’s suggested to go by metro or take taxi.
• Quality: It’s quite challenging to do quality inspection in the shops in the wholesale markets if you’re buying in bulk. Most of the shops take up very limited spaces, there’s even traffic congestion inside the markets, sometimes you can’t even move forward with the huge crowds. There’re chances that you might get some inferior ones.
• Sizes: Most of the clothes are only available in Asian sizes.
• Returning policy: Changing room is rare, and it’s almost impossible to get money back, so check carefully before going into the deal.
• Payment ways: Cash used to be the king in offline shops in China. However, with the popularity of wechat pay, alipay, most shops accept digital payments. But not including credit cards.

Three questions to ask before buying from China clothes wholesale markets.

• Do Chinese wholesalers have export license? The vast majority of clothes wholesalers in the wholesaler markets in China focus more on domestic markets like taobao, or work with export agents. Seldom do they have export licenses. If you’re buying directly from them, make sure they can export for you or you have agents to export the goods.
• Can the clothes be relabeled? If you don’t want to sell under others’ brands, it’s better to make sure the clothes wholesalers can put on your brand. Usually the clothes with stocks feature others’ brands.
• Can you do quality control over wholesale clothes? The risk of getting poor quality clothes with defects is certainly not low while buying directly from wholesalers in the markets than producing private label clothes based on your specifications.

Clothes wholesale markets are great if you’re:

• Looking for stocks
• With small order quantity
• Targeting at low to middle end markets

Zhongda fabric market is what usually comes to mind when people think of garment accessories in Guangzhou. Dwarfed in size with winding alleys of stalls piled up with clothes accessories, Yangxiang (杨巷) is more an insider’s choice.

Yangxiang (杨巷), adjacent to shi san hang clothes markets, located in the center of Liwan district, surrounded by xi di er electronic markets and Liwan plaza jewelry markets, is relatively unknown while compared with clothes accessories markets in Zhongda.

The name was originated from the descendants of a royal family with family name Yang living in the neighborhood. Xiang (巷), which means narrow alleys in Chinese, vividly describes the architectural features of the area. With its key location at the heart of the city surrounded by Guangzhou wholesale markets of various kinds, it quickly has evolved to be the largest business district for fabric and cloth accessories before the modernize, huge-scale Zhongda fabric markets were built.

Compared with the contemporary building in Zhongda fabric markets with air condition, elevator…all modern facilities, the narrow, twisted alleys of Yangxiang (杨巷) seems to be a century lagging behind, losing its competitiveness.

However, dont miss Yangxiang (杨巷) if you want to be ahead of the game.

As an anproverb goes, a stich in time saves nine. To source the best supplier, you need to put in the groundwork. For instance, a simple furry accessory in vogue recently costs 1 RMB in Yangxiang cloth accessories market, while in Zhongda fabric markets, it’s sold at 1.3-1.8 RMB in most shops. And exaggeratedly, in gui hua gang accessories markets for handbags, the same thing is sold at lowest price of 6 RMB. It makes a big difference if you order several thousand pieces.

Finding the right place, talking to the right person always matter a lot.

Yangxiang is also a very convenient spot with its key location of about 10 minutes’ walk from shi san hang clothes markets with accessories for clothes, handbags, shoes, mobile phone, gift items, etc.

The long street stretching through Shangxiajiu is lined with shops selling fabric, ribbon, lace, embroidery accessories, printing accessories, straps, drawstrings, resins, beads, brass, crystals, buttons, zippers, hooks, belts, leather tag, metal tag, tape…etc.

Walking into the twisting alleys, you’ll find more suppliers of better rates with quality almost the same.

Yangxiang’s a great place to delve into Cantonese culture while at the same time exploring the markets with most of the accessories you can find in Zhongda but in general at cheaper rate.

Walking to the end of Yangxiang, you’ll arrive at the busy maze of pedestrian steet of shang xia jiu (上下九).

Honored as the largest furniture wholesale market in China, Lecong furniture wholesale market covers an area of about 3 million square meters, consisting of various furniture wholesale buildings including Louvre Furniture Mall, Lecong International Furniture Exhibition Center, Shunde Empire Group, Sunlink Group, Taunyi International Furniture City, etc.
