Getting to Yiwu

Flying to Yiwu

If you're visiting Yiwu from America or Europe you will first arrive in a major Chinese city such as Shanghai or Beijing. From here you can make a transfer flight to Yiwu, or choose another means of transport.

Trains to Yiwu

From nearby cities such as Shanghai, Nanjing or Hangzhou, there are no flights to Yiwu. A one-way train ticket will cost about 60-100 RMB. If you ride the new D train, the level of comfort and service is at least as good as on an airplane. The D train between Shanghai and Yiwu takes just over 2 hours.

Unfortunately, the new train station is about 10 km outside the city center, so a cab ride to your hotel or expo center will add about 30 RMB and half an hour of travel.
