Tucked away near Beijing’s Second Ring Road lies Yabaolu—an unassuming 500-meter street that has become the go-to destination for thousands of apparel buyers from Russia, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe. Here’s why this hidden gem outperforms factories for international sourcing.
Why Yabaolu Wins?
Not a Factory, But Better
Buyers chasing "factory-direct" deals often face language barriers, endless searches, and red tape. Yabaolu flips the script: each supplier here connects you to dozens of vetted factories with global experience. Need winter coats, summer dresses, or kids’ wear? Get samples, quotes, and lead times in 3–5 days—no bureaucracy.
"We just sent a sketch. Within a day, they proposed fabric options, cuts, and packaging—all under one roof."
— Natalia V., wholesale buyer from Kazakhstan
They Know CIS Markets Inside Out
Yabaolu’s edge? Decades of mastering CIS preferences:
- Sizing adjustments for Slavic/Asian body types
- Russian-labeled packaging
- Seasonal color trends
"I explained Uzbek clients prefer tailored jackets—they instantly showed me three pattern options."
— Timur K., brand founder from Tashkent
