1-day
1-day procurement core: market districts by day, night market by night
- 08:30: arrive at International Trade City District 1 (jewelry / toys / artificial flowers) as booths open; pick up a district map at the service center
- 10:30: District 2 (hardware / electrical goods)—note booth numbers of promising suppliers
- 12:30: lunch at the market food court; check whether your categories cluster near Districts 3-4
- 14:00: District 3 (stationery) and District 4 (apparel/socks); District 5 (imported goods) if time remains
- 18:30: Binwang Night Market—skewers and small-quantity buys; compare with wholesale prices seen by day
For first-timers with one day in the city; assume a weekday—most booths rest on Sundays.
