Hi,JANOO,

If you only focus on business, then we suggest 5days enough(2 days in Shanghai market & 3days for Yiwu market ).

If also want to do some sightseeing, you can consider to extend another 3~5days to experience China.

Also the transportation ticket(flight/train/bus) is tight before Feb 20th due to Chinese Spring Festival Holiday(like your new year holiday), so we suggest you to visit here after Feb 20th, it is more better.

Enjoy!

Yours sincerely,

GUEST71241 It's good to see the markets with your own eyes, it's amazing there. We did a business trip via Shanghai to Yiwu earlier this year. This really helps a lot to our business, we now directly buy goods from our suppliers in Yiwu, and then use export agent (pay some commission) to ship the goods back to Europe. To do the trip is quite simple, we drove from Shanghai to Yiwu, it's about 3 hours by freeway. The car rental company: www.shangcar.com drove the car to our hotel in Shanghai and then directly to Yiwu. We spent 3 nights there and visit hundreds companies within 2 days, again, it's an amazing city, you'd go and see it with your own eyes. Ryan

Yiwu market don't have many garments suppliers, the garments & textile market call Binwang market, you can source garments,bedding,necktie,lace,trimming in this market, if you buy seamless garments, yiwu has a lot of suppliers.

For fashion accessories, yiwu is the best choice, you can find huge selection in Yiwu Futian market

Too late for you, but I believe it's not feasible to get to Yiwu that very night, unless you've arranged for an airport transfer!

GUESTPHILIP I USUALLY ARRIVE SHANGHAI PUDONG AIRPORT AT NIGHT AROUND 11:30 PM, AFTER CLEARING THROUGH IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOM . I GO DIRECTLY TO SHANGHAI TRAIN STATION THROUGH TAXI OR BUS, BECAUSE THERE IS NO BUS TO YIWU AT SUCH TIME ( PAST MIDNIGHT), AND BUY SOONEST AVAILABLE TICKET AT SOUTHEAST DIRECTION OUT SIDE OF THE TRAIN STATION, IT IS OPEN 24 HOURS, I PREFER TO BUY SLEEPING BED TICKET THAN HARD SIT TICKET. TRAVELING TIME -4 TO 5 HOURS FROM SHANGHAI TO YIWU. - HOPE MY EXPERIENCE WILL BE HELPFUL TO THOSE LATE TRAVELERS.

GUESTDEEJ I'll be arriving in Shanghai on 26th June at 5:30pm. I have to go to Yiwu. What is the best way? Are there any bullet trains to yiwu from South Station or Shanghai station? What bus/shuttle line can I take from the airport to train station? Also Does anyone has the address of Shanghai market for garments. Thank you. I'd appreciate some help.
