A paradise of brands, China



All brands all over the world are in China. There are so many brands, ranging from rare or unfamiliar foreign brands to the domestic brands in a Chinese shopping mall or outlet. This is one of only a few luxury outlets in China. This is located around Hangzhou, but it’s nearby Haining. Anyway, it is more comfortable to go to the outlet from Hangzhou.
 
There are one or two outlets in Shanghai, but it is pretty different. This seems like an outlet in the United States, Europe, and Paju or Icheon of Korea. It is larger than in Korea. Price? It’s expensive.
Of course, it is cheaper than the original price, but it’s pretty expensive. I feel that many of Chinese people don’t know about a luxury outlet like in Korea. Some people only visit there.
There are lots of families and some restaurants, such as only KFC, Pizza Hut, and Bruce Lee.

I took a bus to Hangzhou in Yiwu, a subway in Hangzhou, and a bus again go to the outlet. It’s 2’o clock. It was easy to walk alone around there. I asked a passerby for a direction, but I went to the opposing side. I wasn’t sure whether the person told me a wrong way or I didn’t understand. I wasted time a lot nearby the outlet.
 
Actually, it is pretty difficult to go to an outlet by bus. After getting off a bus, the parking lot was full. Almost all people drove a car to come to the outlet. I lined up in KFC, and everyone in line was on the phone.
 
It was pretty similar in a crowd of a million people in Korea and China. Gap, Nike, Adidas, Coach, and more were really packed with people. Among many brands, some for baby clothes and children’s wear were full of married women. They were the most popular in the outlet.
If China imported products from R.Robot or Minkmui, it would have been sold much because Korean products were really popular. There were many of Chinese luxury brands.
 
It was familiar or unfamiliar to me, but there were only a few people in the brands. I felt that Chinese people also like foreign goods. I think this is power of brand. When I feel depressed and painful, I usually go to a department store. This is because I can see various brands and shopping bags in the store.
 
I have just decided to think that I can’t stay like this because there are so many brands for which we should carry on our business. There were hundreds of brands all over the world in this outlet, using a lot of shopping bags… There was a brand, Rapido, which it seemed like forever since I last saw.
 
China continues to change. I feel that I am digging in the ground in Yiwu by myself in this changing country. I feel… depressed… I am confused that I am getting developed or going around at the same place.
