What buyers should know
Toys and artificial flowers are on floor 1 and jewellery and hair accessories on floor 2, so buyers covering several categories can do it in one building.
More than 90% of booths take export business and the district reports an export share above 60%: most sellers here are used to overseas orders.
The building lets vehicles onto floors 2 to 4, which matters when you leave with cartons instead of samples.
