Even though it was a Monday workday, the market was already packed with people around 11 a.m. Some tourists visited Guangzhou for the first time and came here specially to check in, while local citizens dragged suitcases to go on a shopping spree. Carrying two or three bags of clothes in hand has almost become the "standard equipment" for every shopper.
Great Bargains for Year-End Clearance
Every year before the Spring Festival, some merchants in Guangzhou Shisanhang launch "great clearance sales" to clear year-end inventory and reduce warehousing pressure. According to the reporter's visit, this year's clothing prices are up to 50% off compared with usual. A variety of high-quality and inexpensive goods such as "¥5 for a pair of underpants", "¥25 for a towel" and "¥150 for a 3-in-1 outdoor jacket" have attracted many consumers to stop and choose.
There are also red underpants printed with the meaning of "win instant success" sold for ¥6 each. Wearing such underpants home for the New Year, who can beat you when playing mahjong?
In addition to individual customers, many shop owners also came to stock up. For example, jeans priced at ¥50 each have become a hot item for many people. "These straight-leg jeans are quite popular this year. The style suits everyone and is very fashionable," one merchant said.
A merchant told the reporter that the current period is not the peak sales season yet. Based on past experience, the sales peak usually comes half a month before the Spring Festival.
