JANVI TOURS

Hualin Jade market is the largest jade market in Guangzhou, which covers an area of 10,000 square meters and has the vast majority of Guangzhou’s jade traders. It attracts more than 1 million merchants and tourists every year.

Here, one can not only find small jade items which only cost you in a reasonable price but also rings, bangles, pendants and sculptures, with price tags ranging from about 100 Yuan to over 100000 yuan. For instance, a jade Buddha on sale at one of the shops, Dawanfu, is priced at Rmb168,000 (HK$158,400).

Diversified kinds of jade articles, as well as excellent workmanship and moderate prices, attract millions of domestic and overseas merchants and tourists, making it the famous collecting and distributing centre for jade articles. At the core of Hualin Street is a newly-built Hualin Building which is the largest indoor jade market on the street. Most of the traders sell products they process themselves. They generally buy roughs from Yunnan province for processing in the suburbs of Guangzhou and sell the processed items in the jade market.

The art of jade processing in Guangzhou is among the best in the country. Many traders at the Hualin Street jade market were formerly master craftsmen working at the Guangzhou Jade Factory and Nanfang Jade Carving Factory, who resigned and set up their own businesses. Besides, the office of the Guangdong Bullion & Jewellry Inspection Centre on the street can ensure customers that they will not buy fake articles.
