BEIJING Botas Mujer UGG Classic Sheepskin Mini 5854 Grises Comprar , Oct. 23 (Xinhua) -- Like thousands of businessmen in Dahongmen, one of the major wholesale markets in Beijing, 45-year-old Shi Ankai has a tough decision to make: where to go next.
Shi's clothing wholesale chain, which he established eight years ago, needs relocation, according to an integration plan for Beijing and neighboring Hebei Province and Tianjin Municipality.
Shi has rented a shop in Baigou of Baoding City, Hebei Province, about a two-hour drive from Beijing, but he is not sure whether he will move all his business there.
"I have spent the last few months visiting different sites in different cities, which are offering different incentives Botas Mujer UGG Classic Sheepskin Mini 5854 Negras Comprar , but none of them seem charming enough," he said.
Shi's indecision is shared by many wholesalers facing relocation. Beijing ordered markets to move to neighboring cities last year as part of an integration plan aimed at easing congestion and addressing other urban ills. Since then, competition has flared among neighboring cities including Shijiazhuang, Langfang, Baoding and Tianjin, each dangling its own incentives to lure businesses. However, the road out of Beijing has been bumpy for many.
A SLOW PROCESS
Dahongmen, translated as "big red gate," takes its name from the northern entrance of a royal garden established by a Chinese emperor about 600 years ago. Over the last two decades, Dahongmen developed into a large market with vendors selling clothing and a wide range of household items.
Before relocation kicked off last year Botas Mujer UGG Bailey Button Sheepskin Triplet 1873 Chestnut Comprar , Dahongmen had 25,000 shops in 45 smaller markets or sections, which traded in clothing, fur, hats, shoes, construction materials and textiles, among others. There were 57,000 vendors and it attracted a total migrant workforce of 300,000 every year.
Under the integration plan Botas Mujer UGG Bailey Button Sheepskin Triplet 1873 Negras Baratas , most of the markets will be relocated and renovated.
Lu Dawen, director of the market's relocation project, said only 10 sections will stay, and they will be focused on retailers and branded shops.
Since last year, nine small markets with lower trade volume have closed, affecting 12,880 workers and vendors. Last month, two shoe markets were shut down.
However, many say relocating the remaining markets will be a lot harder, as many of the businesses have strong ties to the area.
Lu said the relocation will be finished by 2018. While the deadline approaches Botas Mujer UGG Bailey Button Sheepskin Triplet 1873 Grises España , tenants say the lack of a timetable and step-by-step procedures has troubled many.
"I still haven't decided yet. I'll look around and see how things are heading," said Shi Ankai.
Jin Guijie, 50, is still busy overseeing his garment sales at the Dongpi market, the Chinese abbreviation for the Beijing Zoo Wholesale Market in downtown Beijing.
