Yiwu Night Market · 三挺路夜市 / 宾王夜市
Yiwu Night Market Guide: Stalls, Halal Picks & Hours
6min by taxi from Exotic Street
The night market most people mean is on Santing Road (三挺路夜市) — locals still call it Binwang night market after its old location. It opens around 6 pm and is still packed at 11, half the crowd is foreign, and it sells everything from phone cases to knock-off bags. But the night market a Muslim visitor actually wants is a different one: Duantou, the halal night market in Jiangdong. This page covers both, plus Qingkou for snacks, with what visitors warn about.
Santing Road (三挺路), city centre, Binwang area — one bridge from the Chouzhou North Road restaurants
Open
Stalls set up from about 18:00 and the lanes are still crowded after 23:00, visitors report; off-days and Spring Festival hours are not confirmed by us yet (visitor posts say only a dozen stalls opened over Spring Festival 2025)
Busiest
Roughly 7–11 pm, weekends and holidays; one August post describes an ‘explosive’ crowd at 23:00
Budget
Street food is cheap; visitors complain about a few ‘tourist-priced’ stalls (a fried rice priced far above the norm)
Pay
Cash and Alipay/WeChat QR; foreign cards no

The halal night market: Duantou
Duantou night market (端头夜市) in Jiangdong — Duantou New Village, Zone 2 — is the one visitors call the Muslim night market: some 150 stalls, more than half run by Ningxia Hui families, with Xinjiang tandoor lamb, samsa, nang and rice sausage next to Henan hu-la-tang, pan-fried buns, Ningxia cold noodles, Qinghai yoghurt and Yunnan rice noodles. Posts quote a pan-fried bun at ¥1 and hu-la-tang at ¥6, and describe being able to carry stall food into the halal restaurants around it. Wu'ai night market beside the Xinjiang street also has halal grills.
Duantou: halal by default — stalls are Hui, Xinjiang and Ningxia run; we confirm stall by stall on visit
Santing Road: lamb-skewer stalls from Xinjiang and Hui vendors, a Syrian shawarma shop (Zhongxu) at the edge, seafood, fruit and sweets — individual stalls not named by us yet (visitors name Zhongxu only)
Nearest halal restaurant for a proper meal from Santing Road: the Chouzhou North Road strip, one bridge away — see Exotic Street

Three markets, three uses
Santing Road (Binwang) — biggest, foreign crowd, shopping and snacks. Duantou — halal food, cheapest. Qingkou — local snacks (roti-style flatbread, fried rice noodles), quieter; visitors argue about which of Santing Road and Qingkou is better. Student-run night markets at the Industrial & Commercial College and Gangcheng are the local secret.

04Buyer pitfalls
What visitors complain about at Santing Road
Fake bags and the ‘don't ask if you won't buy’ stall
Santing Road sells look-alike designer bags at ¥200–300; visitors describe stalls that forbid photos and sellers who mock browsers. It is a market, not a mall — ask prices, compare, walk away.
Smell, heat, mosquitoes, dirt
Repeated in August posts: a strong mix of street food and cheap perfume, sticky ground, mosquitoes. Go early evening in summer and wear closed shoes.
Getting home
After 10 pm the streets around the market are jammed; visitors could not get a taxi or Didi. Walk to Chouzhou North Road or the metro, or plan the ride before the crowd.
Tourist pricing
Most stalls are cheap; a few charge visitors several times the local price for fried rice or drinks. Ask the price before they cook.

Make an evening of it
Dinner on Exotic Street first, night market for dessert, or the other way round.
Santing Road sets up from about 18:00 and is busy until well after 23:00, according to visitor posts; exact closing times and off-days are checked on site and shown above with the date. Over Spring Festival most stalls stay closed.
Is there halal food at Yiwu night market?
Yes, and there is a whole halal night market: Duantou in Jiangdong, run largely by Ningxia Hui and Xinjiang vendors, with samsa, tandoor lamb, nang, hu-la-tang and pan-fried buns for a few yuan. At Santing Road the Muslim-run lamb-skewer stalls and a Syrian shawarma shop are the halal picks; specific stalls are named after we ask the vendors.
Santing Road or Qingkou — which night market is better?
Visitors split: Santing Road (Binwang) for the scale, the foreign crowd and shopping; Qingkou for food — flatbreads, fried rice noodles — and fewer knock-offs. Muslim visitors: Duantou.
Where is Binwang night market?
The old Binwang night market moved to Santing Road (三挺路); locals use both names. Show the driver card above.
