Thanks Cathy for your respond. Think your grandson and me have some experiences in common except that I did not even get a single spoon of food that evening :) Part 2:1 The pearls and the market. Will post more pictures later as part 2:2. When I entered the building, the first impression was...

Sorry. Don't know actually. It's A building close to the fair that I thought looked good and photographed it. Placed around 300 m from the fair.

Hi again! Part 1 The trip: I choose to fly from Copenhagen to Shanghai and then took the bus to Yiwu from the airport. It’s a 4 hour journey but the cheapest way to get there. The easiest way would rather be the maglev train or a taxi to Shanghai North or South and then the bullet train to...

Hi all! Have not yet really “landed” from my trip to China and are still sorting all the more than 2000 photos taken of the trip. Not only from the pearl market but also from Yiwu. Think I have to leave the report in at least four parts due to the time for writing and explaining the adventure...

The strange thing is, that when you import and export as a professional company, you both get and can demand more help from the custom. You are paying quite a lot to the system simply. A Tourist asking for VAT return (as I have done some times too) is sometimes regarded as an annoyance by the...

Thank you all for the answers! It was with a little despair I wrote my text yesterday. Sorry. Leaving tomorrow evening for Shanghai, the 4:th of May. Thank you JSheperd for your answers. It´s so true that everything is negotiable. Especially the price. Even in Vizenca, in spite of that the...

Sorry to see that that I do not get any answers to any one of my my questions or any advice to give me. In spite of that, I will give you a report of what I see and learn when there. See you... Have a nice day!

Hi all! Have traded pearls for over 20 years and are newly registered to this forum. Have read it many years as unregistered. Thought it was time to be active! As stated in the title I´m going to Zhuji and the Pearl City in May 2016 as a offspring of a purchase trip to Yiwu for my company. The...
