Yiwu Railway Station to Futian Market: Metro, Bus, and Taxi
The simplest public-transport route is the Jinyi-Dongyang urban rail line. From Yiwu High-Speed Railway Station (义乌高铁站), take a train toward Ming & Qing Dynasty Palaces (明清宫), ride four stops, and leave at International Trade City (国际商贸城). The in-train journey is about 12 minutes and the current fare is about RMB 5.
Quick answer
How do you get from Yiwu Railway Station to Futian Market?
Take the Jinyi-Dongyang urban rail line toward Ming & Qing Dynasty Palaces for four stops to International Trade City Station. The ride is about 12 minutes and costs about RMB 5. Bus 801 is a slower daytime alternative. After rail service ends, use an official taxi or ride-hailing car; do not plan around Bus 808 because current route listings mark it as suspended.
Overview
The first departure from Yiwu High-Speed Railway Station is scheduled at 6:30 a.m. Check the last train shown inside the station or in the current Jinhua Rail Transit timetable before relying on a late-evening connection; operating times can change for holidays or service adjustments.
The rail station serves the District 1 side of the market. Futian Market covers six districts, so buyers going to Districts 4–6, a specific gate, or a hotel may still need a short onward ride. Do not use 'Yiwu Market' as the only destination.

How to apply this
- For the direct rail route — Follow signs from the railway concourse to Yiwu High-Speed Railway Station (义乌高铁站). Take the Jinyi-Dongyang line toward Ming & Qing Dynasty Palaces (明清宫), not the opposite direction.
- Ride four stops — Lingyun, Chunhan, Qintang, then International Trade City. The in-train journey is about 12 minutes; allow additional time to reach the platform and walk out of the destination station.
- Choose the exit by destination — International Trade City Station is closest to the District 1 side. Check the station map and your saved gate pin rather than assuming one exit serves all six districts.
- For Bus 801 — Board at the Railway Station bus area toward International Trade City Bus Center. Current map routing shows roughly 20 stops and about 32 minutes to International Trade City District 2 (East), but road traffic can extend the journey.
- For a late-night arrival — Use the official taxi rank or a configured ride-hailing app. Current route listings mark the former overnight Bus 808 as suspended, so do not treat it as a dependable fallback.
- For a taxi — Enter the exact district, gate, or hotel in Chinese; allow roughly 25–40 minutes in normal conditions. Keep the booking screen or official receipt if you need to recover an item later.
- Check current times — Rail and bus details here were checked in August 2026. Confirm the last rail departure inside the station and check Bus 801 in Yiwu Xing (义乌行) because holiday and construction schedules can change.
Mistakes to avoid
- Entering only 'Yiwu Market' and arriving at the wrong side of a very large complex.
- Planning supplier meetings too close to the train's scheduled arrival time.
- Missing the direct urban rail connection and taking a much slower road route by default.
- Assuming an old online listing for overnight Bus 808 means the route is still operating.
- Assuming a submitted pickup request means a vehicle has been booked.
Practical recommendation
Recommended next move
Use urban rail when District 1 is a useful starting point. Use Bus 801 only after checking its live departure and when you have light luggage. After the last train, take an official taxi or ride-hailing car to an exact gate or hotel. Store luggage before beginning market work.
