Retail gold prices at Shenzhen's Shuibei jewelry wholesale hub fell after a
recent pullback in bullion. The price decline combined with National Day
promotions triggered a wave of out‑of‑town buyers; a shop salesperson said 30–40
groups of nonlocal customers were brought to Shuibei daily during the holiday.
Foreign visitors have risen, favoring diamond pieces and high-grade gold.
Several bangle counters sold out despite ample pre‑holiday stock; retailers are
restocking, including transfers from outside the market.
