Quoting from [ashkankey]:
Hi everybody,
My flight goes on 18th july to shanghai, will stay for around 4-5 weeks and go from hk back to europe. I'm doin business with some chinese factories since 4 years. Most of them I found on alibaba. Cities I plan to visit are shanghai, yiwu, whenzhou, shenzhen then hk.
What I'd like to know is, where most of trading companies or factories are located? I look a place, where all are side by side (for comparing products and prices). I heard yiwu is the perfect place, right?
I don't really look for a special product, I just want to take a round and getting some ideas. Also I'd like to know, if there are any fairs between july and august?
kind regards
ashkan
