Pros
- Futian overlap: You can often find the same type of products sold in Yiwu Market (but at lower prices).
- Convenient spot: Very close to Futian Market District 1 – easy to detour for extra deals.
- Concentrated variety: Shops here have quick turnover of whatever big vendors unload, so stock changes daily.
Cons
- Crowded with locals: Less foreign buyer presence means you must be comfortable negotiating in Chinese.
- Mixed quality: Some stores here are essentially discount outlets for damaged or return items from Futian vendors.
- Limited display: Goods may be stacked haphazardly; inspecting large quantities is hard in narrow alleys.
Who Should Go
| Buyer Type | Why It Fits |
|---|---|
| Yiwu Futian Buyers | Supplement shopping at Futian Market with extra bargains nearby (same categories). |
| Bargain Merchandise Dealers | Those who missed a product at Futian or want it cheaper – try Jinfuyuan for seconds/overstock. |
16. Zijin Toy E-commerce Supply Area — 紫金玩具电商供货区
What Is It?
“Zijin” (Purple Gold) refers to a large wholesale district famous for low-cost toys and novelties. Often called Zijin Toy Market, it consists of several districts (Zijin 1,2,3…), located in Xialuozhai Village.
Over the years, Zijin has also diversified into general household goods (socks, detergents, stationery) to serve online sellers. In short, if you want cheap toys and small daily items, Zijin is the go-to area.
What Can You Buy & Where?
| Category | Location |
|---|---|
| Plush & Doll Toys | Zijin Community (紫金小区) |
| Plastic & Novelty Toys | Zijin Community (紫金小区) |
| Children’s Gifts | Zijin Community (紫金小区) |
| General Merchandise | Zijin Community (紫金小区) |
Pros
- Extremely low prices: Many toys in Zijin sell by weight (e.g., discounted by the kilogram), making them very cheap per unit.
- Bulk toy supplier: It’s one of China’s largest toy clusters, so selection (especially plastic and plush toys) is vast.
- Supporting goods: Because it has expanded, you can also pick up low-cost basics (socks, towels, plasticware) in the same area.
Cons
- Quality is very basic: Products are often unbranded, made of PVC or low-grade materials. Durability is low.
- Over-saturation: Everyone selling toys in Yiwu comes here; for truly unique items you may have to search elsewhere.
- Not premium: For high-end or educational toys, Zijin is not appropriate – it’s strictly budget-market oriented.
Who Should Go
| Buyer Type | Why It Fits |
|---|---|
| Toy Wholesalers | Source huge volumes of party favors, basic toys, plush – perfect for filling party stores or dollar stores. |
| Exporters of Cheap Goods | Sellers to developing markets often rely on Zijin’s discount toys and daily items to meet price-sensitive demand. |
