What is most surprising is that these markets are not located on major transportation routes or in urban centers. They are all located in valleys or water bay villages where transportation is very inconvenient, and the time and effort required to travel to trade are significant. For example, the Qiaotou Button Market in Yueqing emerged in a mountainous area 3.5 kilometers away from the Hangzhou Wenzhou National Highway. From its appearance in 1979 until its gradual decline 20 years later, it has not moved away from its original site or been slightly closer to the national highway.
The recycled textile market in Yishan, Cangnan, is even more difficult to access. Xinhua News Agency reporter Hu Hongwei recorded his "road map" when he went to Yishan for an interview: starting from Lingxi in the county town in the morning, he took a minibus and bumpy for about two hours on the rural road, and then an unknown small river flowed in front of him. Boarding the boat, the mountains on both sides are very beautiful. A small boat with no roof and long and narrow like a Loong Boat turns around and turns again in the winding river. Upon landing, one can only see a string of farmer "taxis" (a small diesel three truck limited to six passengers, often reaching more than ten people in reality, some even hanging half a person outside the car like spiders) eagerly soliciting passengers. The banging sound of the diesel engine makes your heart beat awkwardly. It's another small river, and another scenic journey that business people can't care about. In the afternoon, when you feel a little hungry, Yishan Town has arrived. At that time, Yishan already had tens of thousands of textile machines, 67000 employees, 4 professional townships, 58 professional villages, and 7 professional markets. The annual flow of acrylic fiber scraps into the area reached 17000 tons. Someone calculated that based on a carriage carrying 20 tons, a total of 850 carriages were needed.
