你去過這裡嗎?不是北上廣深,卻是很多人心中的國際城市!

說到中國的“國際城市”,你首先想到的可能是北上廣深。


但是,在許多外國商人眼裡,有個地方或許不亞於北上廣深……

義烏位於浙江金華,只是一個縣級市。

但是,在很多人心中,義烏的地位是相當“超然”的——它有著全球最大的小商品市場,匯聚了世界各地來來往往做生意的人,是名副其實的“國際港”。

你去过这里吗?不是北上广深,却是很多人心中的国际城市!

改革開放40週年以來,尤其是“一帶一路”5週年來,義烏這個小縣城飛速發展。街上時不時就能遇到老外,商場裡各國商品薈萃,妥妥的國際範兒~

前不久,咱們Global Times的小夥伴就去到義烏,拍下了下面這些照片。

來看看許多外國商人心中的“聖地”義烏吧——

Yiwu’s Trade City transitions into hub for global imports

For more than a decade, Yiwu, a city in East China's Zhejiang Province, has been known as the home to the world's biggest wholesale market. It is where traders from around the world come to purchase Made in China commodities to take back to their respective countries. But that mode is changing. Besides exporting, Yiwu is also hoping to become a new hub for global imports. In the fifth district of Yiwu's International Trade City, a China imported commodities mall recently opened to sell products imported world-wide to Chinese retailers and consumers.

Wine from Spain, crystal and glassware from the Czech Republic, handicrafts from Africa and daily necessities from Japan can all be found here at a reasonable price, selling to both wholesale and retail buyers.

Many goods are sent here via freight trains linking Europe with China under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative. Yiwu currently boasts 10 freight train routes to Europe, covering countries including Russia, London, Spain and the Czech Republic.

In 2017, the route saw 49 trips from Europe to Yiwu, carrying 3,670 twenty-foot equivalent units, up by 822 percent from 2016, Zhejiang Online reported in May 2018. According to Yiwu's customs, the value of imported goods in 2017 was around 10 times the amount of 2016.
