Yiwu Market District 6 Guide
Global Digital Trade Center: north and south areas, product checks and a practical buying route.
What can you buy in District 6?
Yiwu Market District 6, also called the Global Digital Trade Center, brings together fashion jewelry, trendy toys, fabrics, skincare, baby products, home and health products, smart equipment and travel essentials. Before you arrange supplier visits, choose both the area and the floor.
The center opened on October 14, 2025, east of District 5. Its name does not replace the usual sourcing work. As a buyer, you still need to inspect the exact product, find out who supplies it, and save a written specification and quotation. Treat a new showroom or an impressive demonstration as a starting point for questions, not as a complete order brief.
District 6 area and floor directory
The area layout below is based on government-published market information. Use it to orient yourself, and confirm the current block, entrance and booth with each supplier.
| Floor | North area | South area |
|---|---|---|
| 1F | Fashion jewelry and fashion fabrics | Creative and trendy toys |
| 2F | Skincare and medical-beauty products | Baby and children’s everyday products |
| 3F | Home living and health or medical products; drones, robotics, AI and AR/VR equipment | Travel essentials |
What to check in each product area
Under one product name, new designs and smart products can come in several configurations. Before you compare offers, record the model, version, accessories and intended sales market. For custom goods, separate what is already available from what still needs a sample or development work.
Fashion jewelry: compare construction as well as design
Record the dimensions, stated base material, finish, stone or decorative details and fastening. Inspect the back, joints and moving parts, not only the front of the display piece. Ask whether all colors use the same construction and whether a presentation box or pouch is included.
For an original or branded design, ask which version the supplier can provide and what customization is available. Also ask for information about the design and the sales arrangements that are relevant to your intended use. Price a custom finish or engraving separately from the ready-stock price, and confirm how the supplier will make repeat orders match the approved sample.
Fashion fabrics: make the specification and sale unit explicit
Record the stated composition, usable width, fabric weight (where specified), weave or knit, finish and color. Ask whether the price is quoted per meter, yard, kilogram or another unit, and how much material each roll contains. Compare a swatch with the exact quoted specification; do not rely only on the display name.
For printed or patterned fabric, note the pattern repeat and direction. Ask how the production color will be approved, whether minimums apply per color or per batch, and how short rolls or defects will be recorded. If the supplier changes the material or finish, record the change as a new option rather than letting it silently replace your original brief.
Creative toys and collectibles: define the series and pack contents
Record the dimensions, material, components and the exact design or series. Open an example sale pack and list its contents. If the offer is a mixed assortment, ask how the assortment is defined. A display of several designs does not mean that you can choose any ratio of designs in your order.
Separate display collectibles from products intended for children, and tell the supplier how your buyer intends to use the product. Request the product details and documentation needed for that exact version. For character or branded merchandise, ask what information the supplier can provide about the design and the proposed sales channels. Also confirm whether the pack, branding and accessories shown in the sample are included in the quotation.
Skincare and beauty products: identify the exact sale unit
Record the product name, variant, stated fill volume, ingredient information, packaging and the supplier’s item reference. Ask for a sealed sample of the sale unit as well as any tester. Where applicable, save the batch identification, shelf-life details and storage information.
Tell the supplier where the goods will be sold, and ask which documents and labeling details it can provide for the exact product. For a beauty device, record the model, intended function, accessories and electrical configuration. Record demonstrated features and supplier claims separately from what you have verified yourself. If the formula, device model or packaging changes, discuss the specification again.
Baby and children’s products: start with intended use and dimensions
Record the intended age or size range, materials, dimensions, construction and included accessories. Inspect the fastenings and attachments, and check how the item is assembled or adjusted. Ask whether the display includes optional parts and, if so, whether they are part of the quoted version.
Base the sample and documentation on your buyer’s requirements, and define both before ordering. A category label or an appealing display is not enough to approve a product. For a range with several sizes, colors or functions, write out the quantity split and ask for a quote for that actual assortment.
Home and health products: distinguish a function from a claim
Record the product’s intended application, dimensions, materials and model. For an electrical item, also note the relevant ratings, plug, controls and included parts. Ask the supplier to state which version will be delivered and which instructions and documentation it will supply.
Products in a health-related category vary: some may be ordinary household items, while others are presented for a specific professional use. Agree on the intended use and exact specification with your buyer. For important product claims, ask the supplier for supporting information; do not turn a showroom description into your own sales claim. Save any unresolved documentation questions with the quote.
Smart equipment: quote hardware, software and support together
For a drone, robot or AR/VR product, record the precise model and configuration. List the controllers, batteries, chargers, sensors and other accessories that the price includes. Ask whether the demonstration unit uses the same hardware as the unit offered for sale.
Discuss app or software requirements, supported languages, accounts, connectivity and any ongoing fees. Ask which functions work without a network and what setup your intended market requires. Agree with the supplier on a demonstration of the functions you need. Afterward, record what was shown and what still needs confirmation.
Ask who handles updates, replacement parts and faulty units. Also clarify whether technical support is provided by the booth, the manufacturer or another business. A compelling demo and a low hardware price can hide differences in software or service arrangements, so list those arrangements in the quotation where they stay visible.
Travel essentials: compare the packed and assembled versions
Record the dimensions both in use and when packed, the material, the weight where relevant and the included parts. For a folding or assembled item, ask the supplier to demonstrate how it opens, fastens and repacks. Identify the exact version you want instead of describing it only as “the camping set” or “the travel accessory.”
For a set, list every component and mark which parts are standard and which are upgrades. Ask for the packing dimensions and how several units are arranged in a carton. If a performance feature matters to your buyer, request the relevant specification and agree how the feature will be checked before approval.
Choose a route by area, then floor
When practical, group meetings on the same side of the market. The table shows suggested buying sequences, not measured walking routes. Before adding a stop, confirm the supplier’s full address.
| Your priority | Start with | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Jewelry or fabrics | North 1F: compare defined samples | Confirm design variants, materials, units and repeat-order references. |
| Toys and children’s goods | South 1F and 2F, according to your list | Separate intended uses, pack contents and documentation requests. |
| Beauty, home or smart products | Relevant north-area supplier on 2F or 3F | Arrange model-specific demos and clarify configuration and support. |
| Travel goods | South 3F: inspect packed and assembled samples | Confirm components, packing volume and approval steps. |
Use the first pass to shortlist products and a second pass to resolve missing details. If an item needs a technical demonstration, arrange it with the supplier. Do not assume that a brief walk-in visit will answer every question.
To widen your selection, compare related categories in other districts: District 1 for toys and jewelry, District 3 for cosmetics and garment accessories, and District 5 for fabrics and home textiles. Use the district overview to plan the whole trip.
Before you compare suppliers
Fix the version
Record model, material, function and included parts.
Price the whole offer
Include packaging, software and support where relevant.
Approve a reference
Keep samples, demonstrations and open questions together.
Bring one buying brief to every shortlisted booth
For example: “Travel organizer set with the same dimensions, fabric, zipper and three components as this reference sample, individual retail pack and no logo. Please quote 500 sets split between two colors and state the minimum per color.” This inquiry is for illustration only; it is not a market minimum or a recommended specification.
For a smart product, also add the model, accessory list, software requirements and the demo functions you want to see. List optional hardware and paid services as separate lines, so that nobody mistakes the quoted price for a complete configuration.
Questions you can use at the booth
- “Which model, version and accessories does this quotation cover?”
- “Is the displayed sample the same configuration as the delivered unit?”
- “What minimum applies to each design, variant or color?”
- “Which packing, instructions and documents are included?”
- “Does it require an app, account, network or ongoing payment?”
- “What sample or demonstration should we approve before ordering?”
- “Who handles updates, replacement parts and faulty goods?”
- “Is the item in stock, and when does the production lead time start?”
A quote record for District 6 products
Keep a separate row for each configuration. Mark any missing information as “not confirmed” and assign a next action to it.
| Record | Include | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | Photos, article number, model, version and sample reference | Identifies the exact product being quoted. |
| Configuration | Dimensions, material, functions and included accessories | Exposes differences behind a shared product name. |
| Price basis | Currency, unit, quantity, variant minimums and delivery basis | Makes prices comparable. |
| Software and support | Requirements, fees, updates, languages and responsible business | Shows the arrangements beyond the hardware price. |
| Packing and approval | Retail pack, carton details, sample or demo results and documents requested | Links the offer to a reviewable reference. |
| Location and timing | Area, block, entrance, floor, booth, contact and lead-time trigger | Makes follow-up and a return visit possible. |
Use the quote comparison guide to put offers on the same basis. Compare the complete configuration and terms, not just the price shown beside a display.
After the visit: confirm the delivered configuration
Send the supplier a recap with photos, model references, quantities, the approved sample or demo requirements, and any open questions. Ask the supplier to confirm the recap in writing. If the hardware, material, software or packing is revised, link each revision to the final quotation.
If several suppliers deliver to one receiving point, agree how the cartons will be marked to identify each item and version. Confirm who will receive and check the goods. Keep items that are still awaiting samples, documentation or technical confirmation separate from items that are ready to order.

District 6 questions
Is District 6 the Global Digital Trade Center?
Yes. This guide uses both names for the same market. When you arrange a visit, also give the area, block, floor and booth, so that the supplier can identify the meeting point.
Why do I need both the area and the floor?
You need both because the same floor number covers different categories on the north and south sides. A floor number alone is therefore not enough to plan a supplier meeting.
Can I still buy toys or jewelry in the older districts?
Yes. To compare relevant categories, use the linked District 1 guide, then decide which location fits your shortlist. Do not assume that an existing supplier has moved; confirm its current address first.
Does “digital trade” mean I must buy through an app?
Ask the supplier how it accepts and confirms orders. Whatever communication or ordering tool you use, keep a written specification, quotation and approval record.
Is a smart-product demonstration enough to approve an order?
Not by itself. First, check that the demonstration matches the exact model, configuration, accessories and software offered. Record which functions were demonstrated and which points remain unresolved. Then agree on the sample and documentation needed for approval.
Can I mix colors or configurations in a small order?
Ask the supplier to quote your proposed mix. Minimums may differ by model, color or customization, and the fact that an item is in stock does not mean that one minimum applies across the whole market.
Does a new showroom guarantee the goods are made by that business?
No. Ask who makes the product, who supplies it, and who handles the order and support. Then make sure that the quotation and approval record match the responsible business.
Can the brochure replace the current District 6 directory?
No. The brochure provides general orientation only. Confirm the current area, block, entrance and booth with the supplier, and use the interactive map as a navigation aid.
