City & Place Guide

Where global trade meets ancient Zhejiang charm

Yiwu, part of Jinhua prefecture in Zhejiang Province, is world-famous as the planet's largest small-commodities market, drawing merchants from over 200 countries to its colossal International Trade City. Beyond commerce, the city offers a surprisingly pleasant urban experience with modern amenities, good food, and easy rail connections to the rest of China.

Jinhua city proper, just 20 minutes away by train, carries deep historical weight as the birthplace of the Jin-Hua Jinqu culture, home to ancient academies, scenic wetlands, and storied villages. Together the two cities offer a rare pairing of hyper-modern global trade and tranquil Zhejiang heritage.

  • •Yiwu International Trade City — vast market with over 75,000 stalls across five districts
  • •Shuanglin Temple, Yiwu — 1,500-year-old Buddhist temple housing intricate Tang-dynasty sculptures
  • •Jinhua Ancient City — well-preserved old-town lanes with Ming and Qing architecture
  • •Yanling Ancient Village — picturesque rural village of classic Huizhou-influenced courtyards
  • •Baguoyan Forest Park — forested hills ideal for hiking with panoramic valley views
  • •Zhuge Bagua Village — UNESCO-listed village designed in a Taoist Eight Diagrams layout

Getting around: Yiwu and Jinhua are linked by frequent intercity trains (about 20 minutes apart) on the Hangzhou–Nanchang high-speed corridor. Within Yiwu, city buses and metered taxis are cheap and plentiful; DiDi rideshare works reliably. The Trade City runs its own free shuttle buses between market districts. Hiring a local driver for a half-day trip to Zhuge Village or Yanling is affordable and recommended.

Best time: Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) offer mild temperatures and low humidity, making sightseeing and market visits most comfortable.

Local food: Don't miss Jinhua ham (China's most celebrated cured ham), savory Yiwu honey dates, hand-pulled Jinhua noodles, and the local pork-and-bamboo-shoot soups found at family restaurants throughout both cities.
