Helping Global Buyers Access China's Hidden Marketplace
Welcome to MyChinaGuide.
MyChinaGuide was created to help international buyers discover, understand, and access China's unique online shopping ecosystem.
While most people outside China are familiar with Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, Temu, or SHEIN, these platforms only represent a small portion of what Chinese consumers actually use every day.
China has developed one of the world's largest and most diverse e-commerce ecosystems, with hundreds of millions of consumers shopping across multiple specialized platforms.
Many of the most interesting products, brands, collectibles, and deals never appear on international marketplaces.
My goal is to help bridge that gap.
My Story

My journey in China's e-commerce industry began in 2008.
At that time, China's online shopping industry was experiencing explosive growth, and I started operating my own Taobao store.
What began as a small personal business eventually became a long-term career in e-commerce.
Later, I joined a large e-commerce company specializing in the operation of Taobao and Tmall stores for brands and merchants.
Over the years, I witnessed firsthand the rise of China's major e-commerce platforms and how they transformed consumer behavior across the country.
I watched Taobao and Tmall become household names, JD.com establish its reputation through logistics and product quality, and Pinduoduo disrupt the market with social commerce and group buying.
I also witnessed how China's domestic platforms gradually outperformed many international competitors by better understanding local consumers, mobile payments, logistics networks, and shopping habits.
After more than 15 years in the industry, I continue to follow new trends, emerging platforms, popular products, and changing consumer preferences across China's rapidly evolving digital marketplace.
Why I Started This Website
Over the years, I noticed that many overseas buyers were interested in Chinese products but often had limited access to China's domestic marketplaces.
Many people only see products available through:
- Amazon
- eBay
- AliExpress
- Temu
- SHEIN
However, Chinese consumers shop on many additional platforms that offer completely different products, pricing, and opportunities.
I created MyChinaGuide to share insights, shopping guides, product discoveries, and sourcing knowledge that are difficult to find outside China.
This website is designed to help international buyers better understand how Chinese consumers shop and how to access products that are often unavailable internationally.
