Linyi's new sourcing hub links global buyers to local suppliers

Explore the Linyi International Product Selection Center in Shandong province, a dedicated foreign-trade marketplace connecting global buyers with a wide range of products from local manufacturers.

Covering 62,000 square meters, the center features 600 standardized stores offering products ranging from building materials and machinery to hardware, home goods and more.

Behind these stores is a supply chain network linking thousands of Linyi manufacturers, giving overseas buyers access to a broader range of local products and suppliers in one place.

"Everything is very clearly labeled, and it’s amazing to see everything in person," said Chad Tyo, a Canadian buyer. He added that buyers can touch the products, ask questions on‑site, and build genuine connections, noting that face‑to‑face business is far more effective than transacting online.
