Located in the Sungang area of Luohu District, near Huahaida International Garment Trading Center.
The market mainly sells stationery, toys, and holiday gifts. Some vendors also offer retail sales and mixed orders.
Shenzhen jewelry markets
Shenzhen’s jewelry markets are mainly concentrated in the Shuibei area of Luohu District. They focus mostly on wholesale gold and silver jewelry, as well as diamond jewelry.
If your business focuses mainly on fashion jewelry, check out Guangzhou’s jewelry markets – Xijiao Building (西郊大厦) and Taikang Jewelry Market (泰康饰品城).
If purchasing fashion jewelry in bulk, Yiwu Market is often a more cost-effective option, with more competitive prices.
Longgang eyewear (龙岗眼镜)
Around 50% of the world’s mid- to high-end eyewear is produced in Shenzhen’s Longgang District, with much of the industry concentrated in Henggang and Yuanshan Subdistricts.
One market international buyers often visit is Jiabo International Eyewear City (嘉宝国际眼镜城). You can also visit nearby factories to check the production process, including mold making, component processing, finished-product assembly, and quality control.

Dafen oil painting village (大芬油画村)
Dafen is a village in Shenzhen’s Longgang District. It was once known for mass-producing replicas of famous paintings by artists like Van Gogh and Monet. You can still find some affordable reproductions today, but the market now focuses more on wholesale and custom orders for decorative paintings.
You’ll also find everything needed to make and frame artwork, from canvases and paints to frames and framing services. While you’re there, you can even try your hand at oil painting and create your own for just a few dozen yuan.
How to get to Shenzhen and get around
International travelers can fly directly into Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport, or fly into Hong Kong International Airport first and then take a cross-border bus or high-speed train to Shenzhen.
Once in Shenzhen, you can take a taxi, use ride-hailing services like DiDi, or take the metro to get to the markets.
Shenzhen’s wholesale markets are spread across several districts, including Futian, Luohu, Longgang, and Nanshan. It’s a good idea to plan your route by district before your trip and visit markets in the same area on the same day.
Navigation tips
If you’re using an iPhone, Apple Maps is the easiest option. Android users can download AMap Global (高德地图) in advance.
It’s also a good idea to save the Chinese names of the markets beforehand. You can then simply copy and paste them into your map or ride-hailing app to find your way.
Payment tips
Before your trip, set up Alipay or WeChat Pay and link your international bank card. QR code payments are widely used in China, but it’s still a good idea to carry some RMB cash as a backup.
Making sourcing easier
Take time to check out multiple shops and compare product quality, prices, and MOQs before placing an order.
For shipping, you’ll find freight forwarders near many of Shenzhen’s wholesale markets. They can arrange international express, air freight, and sea freight. Some vendors can also help with packing and shipping.
Still, with so many markets and suppliers to choose from, finding the right products and suppliers can be challenging, especially if you’re sourcing from China for the first time. It takes a lot of time and experience to verify suppliers and maintain product quality.
JingSourcing is a sourcing company and has helped over 6,000 overseas buyers source products from China. We can help you find reliable suppliers, compare quotes and negotiate prices, handle product customization, quality inspections, and shipping.
