Shenzhen Shuibei Overview: Location & Layout

Core Geographic Location
Shuibei sits in Luohu District, Shenzhen’s prime commercial area near the Hong Kong border and major transport hubs. Its trading zone covers Shuibei 1st Road, Beili North Road and Beili South Road, forming a compact, fully walkable block. Each building and zone has fixed product specializations, letting visitors shop efficiently without aimless wandering.
Key Landmark Buildings & Functional Division
Shuibei’s core landmarks feature permanent, fixed business positioning for easy navigation:
- Shuibei International Jewellery Exchange: The district’s most authoritative flagship trading complex.
- Shuibei Jewellery Building: Specializes in mid-to-high-end finished gold, diamond and jade jewellery for wholesale and retail.
- Junma Jewellery Centre: Focuses on trendy silver pieces, semi-precious stones and daily wearable accessories.
- Jinzhan Jewellery Plaza & Jinli Building: Permanent hubs for diamond trading, custom design and large-scale jade wholesale.
What to Buy in Shuibei: Jewellery Products & Custom Services

Product Range for Wholesale & Retail
Shuibei maintains year-round full inventory of nearly all wearable and collectible jewellery. Unlike exclusive wholesale markets, it openly serves individual retail buyers and bulk resellers with no membership fees, supporting flexible single-piece purchases and large-batch sourcing for Canadian visitors.
Core permanent product categories include:
- Precious metals: Pure gold, K-gold, rose gold, sterling silver ornaments, investment bars and custom metal pieces.
- Diamonds & precious gemstones: Full-carat natural and lab-grown diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds and certified high-end stones.
- Jade & pearls: Jadeite, nephrite ornaments, freshwater, South Sea and Tahitian pearls for retail and bulk orders.
- Semi-precious stones & accessories: Amethyst, crystal, agate, turquoise and trendy daily-wear jewellery.
Pro Buying Tips for High-Value Jewellery
Shuibei offers transparent, stable pricing for high-value jewellery at a huge discount compared to Canadian retailers. All items follow global market standards with verifiable quality markings and official certifications. Below are key buying guidelines for precious metals, diamonds, gems, jade and pearls:
- Gold jewellery: Priced by real-time international gold rates plus a low processing fee. Standard Au999, Au990 and 18K hallmarks guarantee authentic purity.
- Diamonds: Available in 0.3 to 5+ carats (natural and lab-grown). All quality stones come with official GIA or NGTC 4C grading certificates for full traceability.
- Jade & pearls: Always ask for formal appraisal certificates to avoid artificially treated goods. High-quality pearls feature uniform shape, smooth surfaces and consistent luster.
- Semi-precious stones: Choose pieces with even colour, clean texture and no visible cracks for reliable quality and long-term value.
Custom Jewellery Commission Process
Custom jewellery is Shuibei’s signature advantage, priced 50–70% lower than Canadian custom work with no hidden charges. Its standardized, permanent process is straightforward for all international visitors:
- Submit design requirements via images, sketches or verbal descriptions;
- Select metal and gemstone materials to match your budget;
- Review and revise custom 3D design drafts;
- Complete professional production, setting and polishing;
- Receive finished pieces with official quality certifications.
Fixed lead times apply year-round: 3–5 working days for simple engraved items, 7–15 days for complex wedding sets and large jade carvings.

I've been using an e-SIM card since October 31st. Easy installation and a stable connection so far. I hope it stays that way for the rest of my trip. I have a Holafly card installed in my second phone, and it had an unpleasant surprise. In one location, AI blocked my connection. Fortunately, this card worked flawlessly. For now, I'm happy.

The data plan was super easy to install. As promised, my Western services, like Google, Google Maps, and Western AI services, worked perfectly fine most of the time, but sometimes my connection broke. Generally, I think that's just because the service in the area was weaker. All in all, very happy with the eSIM

I really liked the atmosphere of this hotel. It was warm and inviting, the rooms were bright and clean, the amenities were thoughtfully chosen, and the furniture was soft. The front desk staff were polite and professional, and the check-in process was simple and smooth. The hotel had excellent facilities, the public areas were clean, and the surrounding area was well-developed with convenient access to restaurants and shopping, adding to the relaxing experience. There was nothing to worry about, just a few words. The breakfast selection was also quite extensive.

Smart Shuibei Shopping Tips for First-Time Canadian Visitors

These universal rules help Canadian shoppers avoid pitfalls and shop rationally year-round:
- Bargaining etiquette: Retail orders have mild negotiation room, while bulk orders qualify for standard wholesale discounts. Late-afternoon shopping offers more flexible pricing; avoid extreme lowball offers.
- Wholesale MOQ Rules: No universal 5-piece rule. Silver & small accessories require 5+ pieces for wholesale pricing; gold, diamond and high-value fine jewellery support single-piece wholesale rates, ideal for individual Canadian buyers.
- Authenticity guarantee: Collect official NGTC/GIA certificates for all high-value items; paid on-site re-inspection is available.
- Pitfall avoidance: Steer clear of overpriced low-grade jade, uncertified diamonds and unverified raw stones.
- Cross-store comparison: Prices and workmanship vary by vendor; always compare options before purchasing.

Shuibei Best Visiting Time & Seasonal Packing Guide
Shuibei operates fully year-round with complete inventory. For Canadian travellers, mild spring and autumn offer the most comfortable shopping conditions. Jewellery exhibitions run annually with updated styles, while major Chinese public holidays bring temporary closures and crowds best avoided.
Shenzhen Climate & Packing Guidance
Shenzhen’s subtropical, humid climate differs greatly from Canada’s cold weather. Refer to the seasonal climate and packing guide below for comfortable travel preparation:
Season | Climate Features | Packing Suggestions |
|---|---|---|
Spring | Humid and rainy | Light long sleeves and waterproof outerwear |
Summer | Hot and humid | Breathable casual outfits and sun protection supplies |
Autumn | Dry and mild | Ordinary daily casual wear |
Winter | Mild and snow-free | Light coats or thin sweaters |
Essential Practical Tips for Canadian Travellers

Visa, Payment & Connectivity
Canadian ordinary passport holders qualify for 30-day visa-free entry for tourism, business and transit (valid until December 31, 2026), with a minimum of 6 months passport validity required. Only RMB (Chinese Yuan) is accepted for in-person transactions; currency exchange services are widely available at airports and local banks. International bank cards can be bound to Alipay or WeChat Pay for daily payments, while small cash is recommended for street vendors. Local SIM cards or portable Wi-Fi devices provide stable internet, and a VPN is required to access Canadian social platforms and apps in China.
Safety & China Customs Rules
Shuibei is a highly secure commercial zone with 24-hour monitoring. When exiting China, ensure all jewellery purchases meet the “personal use, reasonable quantity” standard to avoid customs issues.
CBSA Rules for Bringing Jewellery Back to Canada
Canadian travellers must fully declare all overseas jewellery to CBSA to avoid penalties. Trips of 48 hours or longer qualify for a CAD 800 duty exemption; shorter trips have lower exemption limits. Purchases exceeding the threshold incur standard GST/HST and import duties. Always retain receipts and certificates for verification, insurance and resale. Bulk identical pieces are classified as commercial goods with higher duty rates.
Final Thoughts
As an experienced Canadian cross-border shopper, I highly recommend Shuibei as a reliable year-round jewellery destination. With factory-low prices, diverse inventory, professional custom work and strict quality control, it delivers far better value than Canadian retail stores. This guide covers all essential rules and tips for safe, cost-effective jewellery shopping in Shenzhen.

This is my several-time stay at the hotel, and once again I asked Ms. Jossce for assistance with room arrangements — as always, she was thoughtful and attentive. The hotel enjoys an excellent location in the heart of Shenzhen’s Futian CBD, making it highly convenient for travel; restaurants and shopping are all within easy reach. With the upcoming APEC meeting in Shenzhen, the hotel and surrounding areas have added bilingual signage — a small but considerate touch that makes getting around even more hassle-free. Jossce proactively arranged my room in advance according to my preferences, upgraded me to a better room type, and extended my check-out time — everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and spacious, with stunning views of both the Convention & Exhibition Center and the iconic Ping An Finance Centre. Whether by day or night, the outlook is exceptional — truly relaxing to stay here. Overall, it was a great experience — highly recommended. I’ll definitely choose this hotel again.FromAED 497

I could enjoy a very spacious high floor with natural bright sunlight and an amazing view of Shenzhen Futian. Despite being in a very centric place my room was clean, quiet and I could take a rest at any time of the day or night in a lovely bed, not too soft, not too firm, waking up relaxes and with renewed energies.
The location is nothing short of great, close to Ping'An tower, the 2nd highest in China and one of the top 5 in the world, always worth visiting. The vibrant Coco Park, literally 2 minutes walking distance away, with lots of elegant shops and restaurants, open until late, is a famous mall that has something to offer for really everyone.
I liked very, very, very much the totally customer oriented attitude of the whole staff. It is clear to me that this hotel has a management that sets very high standards in all aspects. As my Chinese is very limited I appreciated all the time the engagement of the team at the front desk, who helped me a lot with my everyday issues. I want to give a special mention to Eva at this place for her professional and highly motivated support.FromAED 461

Came to Shenzhen for a relaxing getaway and stayed at this Hilton. The overall experience was solid. When I asked for a bottle of water, delivery was prompt. The staff from the Guest Relations department were sweet, warm, and genuine, speaking in a gentle tone rather than just going through the motions. The room was spotless, the vanity area was neat and dry, and the towels were all disinfected. Small amenities in the room like the sound system and mirror were all in good working order and easy to use. The hotel's location is a huge plus, with the Gangxia North metro station nearby offering plenty of transfer options. It was convenient whether we were heading out to wander around during the day or coming back at night. The room had great blackout curtains, allowing me to sleep naturally until I woke up. The only minor issue was having to wait a short while for the elevators during peak hours, but everything else was great—a truly relaxing and comfortable stay.FromAED 471

I know this hotel is undergoing renovations, and some packages for the new room types even include lounge access and five meals a day, which offers excellent value for money!
First, regarding the room, the newly renovated style is minimalist and refined. The room feels very spacious and has excellent natural light. The bathroom amenities include Diptyque shampoo, shower gel, and lotion, which was a very pleasant touch.
Next, concerning the dining, the five meals included afternoon tea, happy hour, evening dessert and drinks after check-in, and breakfast and lunch on the second day. The afternoon tea was a pleasant surprise. Although the food selection for happy hour wasn't extensive, it focused on quality over quantity. I didn't get to enjoy the late-night dessert session, but I learned that it was a chocolate-themed dessert night, and the themes are updated regularly. It's worth noting that no matter when you dine, you can enjoy unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
Finally, I'd like to commend the hotel's service. All the staff I encountered during this stay were extremely polite and friendly. Especially Miss Sahar at the front desk, the check-in process was very smooth and efficient, and she even followed up afterward to see if I needed any assistance. A male staff member in the lounge also provided very professional service, always greeting us with a warm smile every time we entered the lounge for a meal.
Overall, my experience during this stay was excellent, and I look forward to visiting again after the full renovation!FromAED 1,364

Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center Shenzhen|1.09km from city centre
Having stayed at a few Four Seasons hotels, this one in Shenzhen didn't quite meet the brand standards I've come to expect. It's definitely an older hotel; nearly all the countertops and table edges in the room were uneven. The only place to find tissue paper in the entire room was by the sink, and the mirror was quite oxidized and blackened. There were no welcome fruits either. These aren't huge issues, but the main problem was cleanliness. On the cabinet wall next to the hangers, there was a large area of a sticky substance, like unremoved glue. Inside the wardrobe, you could feel a noticeable grittiness, like un-wiped dust, which made me hesitant to hang my intimate apparel. The spout of the kettle for boiling water was already green... These kinds of issues just shouldn't be present in a Four Seasons hotel. On the positive side, the front desk service was very warm and friendly, and the buffet environment was excellent. I hope the hotel considers a renovation.FromAED 4,259

Due to the fully booked situation during the Canton Fair, although I used Ctrip points to redeem for early check-in when booking, there were still no rooms available when I arrived at the hotel at 2 PM.

The bedding was comfortable, and the shower was spacious with fantastic water pressure. The breakfast was good. There is a shuttle service to and from the nearby beach, which was uncrowded. The hotel is close to the Dameisha scenic area. They have delivery robots, as well as indoor and outdoor swimming pools that the kids loved, though the water temperature in the pools was a bit low.

The Langham, Shenzhen 🏨
Location: Great, just a straight walk from Chegongmiao Metro Station.
Service: The doormen are very sharp and attentive. As soon as guests get out of the car, they rush over to greet them and take the luggage. We booked an executive room and arrived right in the afternoon, so we went straight to the Langham Club for afternoon tea and checked in smoothly at the same time.
Room: We requested a fireplace room. It was quite spacious and lovely. I am totally in love with the bathtub! The huge square bathtub is much more comfortable for soaking than an oval one—big enough for two people. Although the hotel has some years on it, the room layout and flow are very functional and comfortable.
Minibar: Very unique and impressive-looking, but chargeable 😂.
Dining: The Executive Lounge is not recommended. The desserts are pretty much nothing to write home about; limited selection, mediocre taste, and I just couldn't get into the scones. During Happy Hour, I rage-ate two bowls of beef brisket rice, but nothing else was really worth eating. Breakfast can be taken either at the Langham Club or the main restaurant. It's best to go to the restaurant first for the Lanzhou beef noodles—you definitely have to try this as it's truly delicious, paired with a dragon fruit smoothie. After that, you can head over to the Langham Club for some croissants and waffles.
In-room Dining: Highly recommend the hot chocolate!! I had one in the morning, one while soaking in the tub, and one before bed. So cozy and relaxing!
Pool: The outdoor pool is gorgeous! Enjoyed it so much in the morning. I also checked out the indoor pool, which is also nice and 1.5 meters deep.
The downsides: No welcome fruit provided, and when I asked for it, I still didn't get any 😂. Also, the hotel overall is on the lower floors, so the window view isn't that great, and the lounge desserts are subpar. All in all, though, I still highly recommend it and had a very pleasant stay.FromAED 561

Opened in 2009, the Grand Hyatt Shenzhen is already 17 years old, making it a truly 'old' hotel in China. When you talk about old hotels, there's always the sentiment of 'new over old' and a dismissive scorn for outdated decor. However, my impression of the Grand Hyatt Shenzhen is 'old on the outside, young at heart.'
The hotel's decor undeniably feels dated and old-fashioned by today's standards. Yet, the presence of new bidet toilets and sturdy, well-maintained bathroom fixtures prevents the hardware from feeling run-down. Furthermore, the meticulous and neat bed-making clearly demonstrates the hotel's housekeeping department is on top of their game. I'm not sure if all rooms are like this, but in the corner king room I stayed in, there was a palpable sense that even the air felt clean. This is thanks to the meticulously clean windows, which at one point gave me the impression of being in a Japanese hotel.
The hotel is very close to Luohu Port, and from the guestroom, you can take in panoramic views of Luohu landmarks such as Kingkey 100 and Diwang Building. Luohu must be considered an older district in Shenzhen, and it certainly lives up to its reputation with plenty of dining, drinking, and entertainment options! The sky lobby offers stunning views. The twin room in the Club Lounge was spacious and comfortable, the bedding provided a very restful sleep, and the cleanliness was impeccable. The service was attentive and courteous. The food selection at the Club Lounge was diverse and delicious. It was an excellent stay! The Club Lounge twin room was spacious and clean, with meticulous service, and the executive lounge was a great place to eat and relax. The location is absolutely unbeatable, making it perfect for friends traveling together. Highly recommended!FromAED 593

Honestly, the service team was so inconsistent it was speechless, with too many frustrating examples to list 😅. The concierge downstairs was excellent, and the lobby front desk staff were professional and good. However, the room attendants seemed quite young, possibly untrained, and their compensation might be average. They were completely clueless about the binoculars, laundry service, and minibar 😅. The male staff at the fitness center were very enthusiastic and provided professional and thorough guidance. But the changing room cleaner, an old man, would work right next to you, silently trying to shoo you away, and when asked a question, his tone was sarcastic… My companion mentioned that the female attendants were bad, ignoring her and chatting/playing on their phones nearby. I also observed the same situation during my visit 😅. The afternoon tea at the lounge was quite sparse (though it seemed better for foreigners**), but the evening service and food quality were excellent and attentive. Overall, if I hadn't been unable to book at Dongwan, I wouldn't have bothered going here. Every staff member at breakfast was professional, thumbs up. Some facilities in the executive room were showing their age; the minibar had a rusty smell 😂, likely due to prolonged disuse without replacement, but the room attendant was still enthusiastic. The hallway carpet was old, and the air freshener had an unsettling, somewhat rancid smell.
Overall, for 5k a night, it felt worse than some 2k-3k-a-night hotels. To an NPC, this is the most disappointing fan I've ever stayed at. Now I understand why my boss specifically said not to sign a contract with this place.FromAED 2,006

My stay at the JW Marriott Hotel Shenzhen Kingkey was excellent. The hotel enjoys a prime location—convenient for transportation, with plenty of shopping malls and dining options nearby. Staff were warm and efficient, especially the Guest Relations team. The room was spacious and spotless, with comfortable bedding and decent soundproofing—ensuring a restful night’s sleep. Breakfast offered a wide variety of dishes, great taste, and a pleasant dining atmosphere. Though the hotel has been around for a while, the pool and fitness center are well-maintained and perfect for relaxing or working out. Overall, it delivers outstanding value for money—ideal for both business trips and leisure getaways. I’ll definitely choose it again on my next visit to Shenzhen. Highly recommended!FromAED 637

The MIXC Shenzhen and KK100 Shenzhen|5.01km from city centre
The most striking thing about this stay is how comforting it is when a hotel truly nails the fundamentals.
Upon opening the door, there was zero weird smell; the bedding was crisp and clean, and even the corners were spotless. It was obvious that the cleaning was done with genuine care, not just as a formality. Tricky areas like water stains in the bathroom, the mirror, and the floor drain were all impeccably clean, making it a very reassuring place to stay.
The location is a major plus too. You can grab food right outside, transportation is convenient, and getting to the places you want to visit is hassle-free. Returning to the room quickly after a tiring day out—that kind of effortless convenience is so important for a trip.
The service hits just the right note: there's someone there when you need them, without being overly enthusiastic to the point of awkwardness. Check-in at the front desk was efficient, all questions were answered promptly, and you could feel well-cared-for in all the little details.FromAED 797

Shekou Area (Nanshan District) Shenzhen|16.3km from city centre
First of all, I'd like to give a big shout-out to the young lady at the front desk (I'm guessing she's the lobby manager)—her service attitude was simply amazing and she was always smiling. We booked the only two-bedroom family suite in the hotel. The room is at the end of the corridor, and the window looks out over the main entrance of the building. The small living room doesn't have an AC unit, but both bedrooms do; once the bedrooms cool down, the living room gradually cools down as well. There is a washing machine in the room, and an electric fan in the living room helped dry our freshly washed clothes. It was wonderful, just perfect.
However, there are downsides, and this particular drawback was a total dealbreaker. We arrived at the hotel at 12:00 noon, but were told that the previous guest hadn't checked out yet. So we went out to grab a bite, and when we returned an hour later, we were told they still hadn't checked out. After waiting yet another hour, we were told they had just left and the room was currently being cleaned. We had planned to rest a bit and let my parents unwind before heading out for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge cruise, but the three of us ended up sitting at a small table in the lobby for two hours. I checked later and found out that Ctrip high-tier members have a late check-out privilege. Because we booked the hotel's only two-bedroom suite, if the previous guest checks out late, it directly delays my check-in. I really think the hotel needs to take this into consideration; it honestly makes you want to leave a bad review. I was furious at the time. We arrived on time, yet couldn't check in normally—they got to enjoy their perks, but who is going to protect my rights?
As for the location, the hotel is right next to Shekou Port, about a 1.5-kilometer walk or around a 12-yuan taxi ride. Setting off from here, we went to Hong Kong, Macau, and took the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge cruise, which was super convenient. There are two large shopping complexes nearby: K11 and Sea World.FromAED 206

An amazing vacation experience!! I'm a loyal Hyatt fan and previously loved staying at Hyatt Centric. I always find Hyatt's food excellent and perfect for a relaxing getaway. I was inspired to visit Hyatt Regency Shenzhen Yantian after seeing a blogger's video of the sunrise there. I decided to stay for my birthday, and the hotel arranged a room upgrade, a birthday cake, and birthday decorations. Special thanks to the two front desk ladies, Dai Yongjun and Chang Xiwen, and the Director of Rooms, Zhuo Wei. Even during the busy Golden Week, the hotel's service, dining, and cleanliness were exceptionally well-organized, with no sense of overcrowding or chaos. This speaks to their highly effective hotel management. This vacation met and exceeded my expectations. The breakfast was delicious, the Executive Lounge dinner was tasty, the cake was good, and even the free-range chicken from room service was delicious. I'll definitely consider coming back for a weekend getaway. Being able to watch the sunrise over the ocean from the hotel was wonderful. The weather wasn't ideal for a sunrise glow this time, but I did manage to capture a beam of light hitting the ocean. Wishing everyone happiness and joy!!FromAED 306

We stayed in the Deluxe sea view king room with a balcony. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by a friendly smile from Zoe and Jessica who were always really thoughtful, attentive and ready to help. The front house staff are an asset to the hotel. The apartment features an open-plan design that feels larger than a standard hotel room, complete with home-like comforts including a washer/dryer machine which allowed us to refresh our clothes. A clothes hanger along with detergent is provided by the hotel again providing ease. The views from the balcony were stunning. Large windows across the rooms and the hotel offer fantastic, sweeping views of the surrounding area and waterfront. The sleeping and living spaces are kept spotless and hygienic by the housekeeping team. Situated close to 2 metro stations and local shopping options and residential conveniences, making daily errands simple.

Hotel was clean and staff we're very helpful. Even gave me a room upgrade for free, I was shocked when the staff member told me it was free. The room was a suite with a spacious bathroom with a bathtub and a shower. King size bed was comfortable and clean. Pool pictures serve it no justice as it is much bigger then what I thought, bring a cap since you are not allowed in the pool without one and if you dont have one the staff will provide you with one.FromAED 259

The self-service laundry room on the sixth floor was always available, making it convenient for long trips without having to pack a ton of clothes.

Its location is close to seaside attractions, making getting around very easy and ensuring a relaxed and comfortable stay. Excellent service!FromAED 258
Shenzhen Shuibei FAQs
-
Is Shuibei Jewellery Market open to the public, or is it wholesale only?
Shuibei is primarily a wholesale jewellery district, but it is absolutely open to individual buyers and tourists. Many vendors will sell single pieces at retail or near-wholesale prices, especially if you are purchasing several items. You do not need a business licence or wholesale account to enter any of the trading buildings. Simply walk in, browse the stalls, and negotiate directly with vendors. -
How do I pay for jewellery at Shuibei? Do vendors accept Canadian dollars or credit cards?
Most vendors at Shuibei prefer payment in Chinese Yuan (CNY/RMB). Mobile payments via WeChat Pay and Alipay are extremely common — international visitors can now link Visa or Mastercard to these apps. Cash in CNY is also widely accepted. Canadian dollars and most foreign credit cards are generally not accepted directly at market stalls. It is advisable to exchange currency before visiting or withdraw CNY from an ATM in the Luohu area. -
Is the jewellery at Shuibei real and of good quality? How do I avoid buying fakes?
Shuibei is a legitimate, internationally recognized jewellery trading hub — the vast majority of products are genuine. However, as with any large market, quality varies significantly between vendors. To protect yourself: always ask for certificates (GIA, IGI, NGTC) for diamonds and gemstones; check gold hallmarks (look for stamps like 999, 18K, or 750); buy from stalls with formal shop-front setups rather than informal sellers; and use a portable UV light to check for gemstone treatments. For significant purchases, consider hiring a licensed local buying agent. -
How much can I save buying jewellery at Shuibei compared to buying in Canada?
Savings can be substantial, often ranging from 30% to 60% compared to Canadian retail jewellery prices, particularly for gold jewellery and custom pieces. This is because Shenzhen is at the heart of China's jewellery manufacturing industry — you are buying closer to the source, cutting out multiple layers of middlemen. Savings are greatest for gold (which is priced close to daily spot rates) and custom design work. Diamond savings depend on certification and quality; always compare against international diamond market prices. -
What is the best time of year to visit Shenzhen Shuibei?
The best times to visit Shuibei are October through December and March through April. These months offer pleasant weather (mild and dry) and fully active trading floors. If you are a serious buyer, aim to visit during the Shenzhen International Jewellery Fair, typically held in late February or early March, where the widest range of products and newest designs are showcased. Avoid visiting during Chinese New Year (late January to mid-February) as many vendors close for 1–2 weeks. -
Can I ship jewellery purchased at Shuibei back to Canada?
Yes, many vendors — particularly those accustomed to international clients — can arrange international shipping. For larger wholesale orders, using a professional freight forwarder is advisable. When shipping jewellery to Canada, be aware that CBSA requires accurate declaration of goods and their value. Duties and taxes may apply depending on the total value and the materials involved. Always insure shipped jewellery for its full value and retain all purchase documentation.
