Around 60 percent of the world's Christmas decorations come from factories surrounding Yiwu, in Zhejiang Province, a little more than an hour from Shanghai on the country's high-speed rail.
In the Festival Arts subdivision of the Yiwu International Trade Market, every day feels like Christmas.
Here, in what is actually only a tiny corner of the world's largest wholesale market for small commodities, aisle after aisle of large cubicles display an array of holiday decorations, from Santa Claus masks to stockings, artificial Christmas trees and metallic-coloured tinsel.
