Four big toy cities in China

As anyone who imports toys from China often knows, there are many kinds of toys in China. There are four major toy cities in China. Let's take a look at where all these toys come from. If you plan to find a Chinese toy manufacturer, where should you go to find?
Chenghai, guangdong province - toy capital of the world
If you specialize in the toy business, and always purchase large quantities, chenghai will be the best choice. You can find toy companies or factories in this city, or things related to toys. Unlike the wholesale markets where yiwu's suppliers congregate, toy factories in chenghai often send samples to toy trading companies. Trading companies upload all their products to their alibaba or their own websites and place orders with these factories when foreigners order them. Of course, there are several large toy trading companies have their own showroom, can have thousands of square meters. Customers can visit their showrooms, select products and place orders. In addition, chenghai has many showroom companies where factories can rent showcases to show off their samples (a shelf costs $500 to $1,000 a year). If you are interested in some products, the company will provide you with contact information for all factories. However, most toy factories do not sell well in English, so if you plan to visit the exhibition hall and contact the factory directly, you'd better have a Chinese translator to help you. Or toy trading companies would be a better bet.

Another interesting thing about showroom companies is that you can put most of your favorite toy samples in your shopping cart and take them away for free during your visit. They also offer free lunches, such as McDonald's or KFC, free drinking and even free cigarettes. They provide such good service because the toy factory pays them a lot of rent every year. Trading companies and showroom companies are located in every corner of chenghai. You can get their information easily from your hotel.
Yiwu - mainly produces small toys with low value
Yiwu and its nearby cities produce many low-value toys, such as children's DIY craft toys, as well as a nationwide collection of global toy suppliers, including chenghai toy suppliers. Since the wholesale market is like a big exhibition, it is very convenient to buy toys.
