Yiwu International Trade City District 3
460,000 m2 of floor space. Floors 1 to 3 hold more than 6,000 standard 14 m2 booths; floors 4 to 5 hold 600-plus business booths of 80 to 100 m2 with the factory direct-sales centre on floor 4. Floor plan: 1 eyewear and paper products; 2 office and school supplies, sports goods and equipment; 3 cosmetics, mirrors and combs, buttons and zippers, garment accessories; 4 factory direct-sales for cultural and sports goods, cosmetics, eyewear and fasteners.
What buyers should know
Buttons, zippers and other garment accessories sit on floor 3 next to cosmetics and mirrors: the district is the accessory stop for apparel buyers sourcing garments elsewhere.
Eyewear here is wholesale trade goods; buyers looking for manufacturing should pair this stop with the factory records on this site.
The larger business booths on floors 4 to 5 suit buyers who want a fixed showroom contact rather than a street-facing stall.
