Hotels in Yiwu: where to stay near the International Trade City
Published on 12 November 2026 · Nreservi team"Yiwu hotel", "hotel Yiwu market", "فنادق ايوو": Algerian traders preparing a buying trip to China search for these again and again. Yiwu is home to the International Trade City, described as the world's largest wholesale market for small commodities. Here is how to get there, which streets to stay on to be close to the market halls, and how to get organised once you arrive.
Yiwu at a glance
- Where? Yiwu is a city in Zhejiang province, in eastern China, administratively part of Jinhua. So don't be surprised to see "Jinhua" in your hotel's address.
- The market. The International Trade City, which many people also call Futian Market, is split into several numbered districts. Each one groups product families: jewellery and accessories, toys, household goods, textiles, hardware, stationery and more.
- A city used to foreign buyers. A large community of Arab traders lives and works in Yiwu, and the city has a large mosque.
How to get to Yiwu
You usually reach Yiwu from one of China's major cities:
- From Shanghai: high-speed trains leave from Hongqiao station and take roughly one and a half to two hours.
- From Hangzhou: frequent high-speed trains also link Hangzhou and Yiwu.
- From Guangzhou, after the Canton Fair: domestic flights connect Guangzhou with Yiwu airport.
Compare your arrival time with the check-in time in your booking, and keep the hotel's address written in Chinese on your phone to show the taxi driver.
Where to stay in Yiwu
Most of Yiwu's hotels are close to the market, and three areas come up again and again.
Futian Road, closest to the districts. This is where the big international hotels are: the Yiwu Marriott Hotel at 188 Futian Road, in the business district near the International Trade City, and the Shangri-La Hotel Yiwu at 6–8 Futian Road. The Best Western Premier Yiwu Ocean Hotel, at 99 Futian Road, is also right by the market.
Chouzhou North Road. This long avenue runs alongside part of the market and has many business hotels, including chain hotels. The Yiwu Khorasan Hotel, at 588 Chouzhou North Road, a name often searched in Arabic, is here too.
Binwang Road, more central. Along Binwang Road and the streets around it you will find Turkish restaurants and other halal places. The Yiwu International Mansion, at 218 Binwang Road, another name that comes up a lot in Arabic searches, stands on this road.
Our tip: if your supplier meetings are not fixed yet, choose a room with free cancellation.
Halal food and practical tips
Yiwu is known as one of the most Muslim-friendly cities in China, with halal restaurants serving Chinese, Turkish, Arab, Yemeni and Pakistani food.
- Allow several days. The market is huge, and comparing suppliers takes time.
- Write everything down. For each supplier, note the district, gate and stand number, and take a photo of their business card.
- Payment and language. Before you leave, check which payment methods are accepted locally. If you don't speak Chinese, plan for a trusted interpreter or buying agent.
