Photographer’s Note
Yiwu is famous in China as a commodities center with a huge permanent trade exhibition. People from all over the world come to Yiwu City to buy commodities wholesale for resale in other parts of China and especially overseas. Many of the stuff you buy at Walmart can be purchased in Yiwu city for a fraction of the cost(e.g. DVD players that sell for over $50 at Walmart for under $5 a piece, fancy pens that go for $2 for a penny each...) This is a supermarket wholesale store specializing in Christmas gifts alone, that's right just christmas gifts! 80% of the Christmas ornaments sold around the world are purchased from Yiwu city.
