 Yiwu market is a huge market complex. If you stop by a booth for 3 minutes, then you will be stuck in this market for a whole year in order to visit up all booths. If you, as a foreigner, plan to browse the market on your own, chances are that you might be lost somewhere. Thus, in some cases when you have decided to visit a specific supplier, it’s better to learn the booth number. How to recognize the booth number? There is a booth plate hanging in the front of every booth. On that plate shows the booth number. Each booth number in the International Trade Mart is special, and allocated in an order. Let’s take C12345 for an instance. C stands for C block. 1 stands for 1F, and 2345 is the booth number. If you want to go to D block, then you should compare the next booth number, and then choose the bigger one. As it implies, go to B block in the opposite direction.

In most cases, market suppliers are very sensitive to their products. We totally understand that. Doing business is difficult in China. When a product turns out to be a hit in the market, then millions of copies will be swarming into the market overnight. They are much cheaper than the original one. Many suppliers in the market are using this copy trick to steal their competitors'  market shares. Thus, suppliers are unwillingly to let a strange person to take photos. However, for foreigners, things become quite easier, because they automatically treat you as a potential buyer. At that time, they will agree on your request.
