ll be visiting a friend in Shanghai soon and would like to visit Yiwu for shopping.

Don't worry! They accept cusomers both for retail and wholesale. The only difference is that the price would be a little bit higher that wholesale. And the International Trade City can be your first choice. Lots of stores sell all kinds of commodities. And most shop keepers are friendly. You can go and see. It's located at east side of North Houzhou Road.

thank you Mark, I appreciate your reply.
