Visit the largest fabric wholesale market in China!
Words to describe the Zhongda Fabric market? Humongous, immense, brimming and intense are a few that comes to mind. If you hate to have too many choices and easily get overwhelmed by good deals then you should probably stay far away from the Zhongda fabric market in Guangzhou, but if you want to make good deals and find fabrics in abundance, there is no better place on earth.
Actually, calling Zhongda a fabric wholesale market is not correct anymore. Today its a cluster of over 20 different wholesale fabric markets with tens of thousands of different suppliers in one huge area and if you wish to see it all, expect to spend several days walking up and down endless maze-like corridors filled with different kinds of fabrics and fabric accessories. And then when you think that you are done, you find out that most markets also have underground levels thats even larger than the ones above ground.
Some of the many many endless corridors you will find at Zhongda.
When people talk about the "Zhongda market", most of them are referring to the "China fabrics and accessories center". This is the largest wholesale fabric complex in Zhongda and probably one of the largest wholesale fabric buildings in the world. It has a modest trading area of roughly 320 000 square meters and around 16 000 shops and stalls, many of them underground. But this is just one of the markets in Zhongda.

Actually, if there is one problem with Zhongda, it is the size of it. Yes, there can be such a thing as too much fabrics. If you come here by yourself, expect to get lost. You will most probably end up spending most of your time wandering around trying to find the fabrics you are looking for and don't expect to be able to get help unless you speak Chinese.
It can be hard to get around if you dont understand Chinese
Most of the suppliers here speak no English at all and the ones that do speak English only know some basic words and phrases. This will put you in a great disadvantage when trying to negotiate a good price. Like always when doing business in China, you can expect the supplier to try to take every opportunity he/she can to get the best of you. After all, the name of the game is making money. If you've finally managed to actually put down an order, you will get a pink receipt that probably will make no sense what so ever to you. This receipt is your only assurance that you will get what you ordered, and you will only get whats written on it which puts you in a bad spot since you probably wont be able to understand a word of it.
It can be hard to understand what you ordered...
