What buyers should know
The trade saying the city government quotes about it is: for clothing, look to Shahe; when Shahe prices rise, the whole country follows.
More than a million garments move through the area daily, across every price tier.
A Shahe mall took the country's first online-wholesale licence, and by 2020 the area had built close to 100,000 m² of e-commerce live-streaming bases.
