Jinhua (金华), with more than 2000-year-old history, although historic sites might hardly be found in the city, it still has convenient transportation, plenty of delicious food and accommodation options, and a rich life atmosphere. It is suitable as a transit stop to the surrounding scenic spots such as Yiwu, Lanxi (Zhuge Eight-diagrams Village), Hengdian World Studio, Wuyi, Dongyang, etc.
Yiwu (义乌), about 56km northeast from Jinhua, is world-famous for its small commodity market. The bustling trade market, the businessmen who travel frequently from Jiangsu and Zhejiang by high-speed train, and the Middle Eastern businessmen who live here are just like few business cards of the city. Wandering around the Yiwu International Trade City, you may lose yourself in the “sea of commodity”!
