  Tips for Visiting Toy Showrooms in Shantou

In Shantou’s toy market, showrooms (also called “exhibitions”) are large display halls where suppliers showcase their product lines. There are more than 30 showrooms—ranging from small to massive—and many display similar samples and packaging from the same suppliers or manufacturers.

The layout resembles a retail megastore (like Walmart): you select the toys you like, staff records the product numbers, provides all the details, and you can place an order on the spot.
