Near the train station, it is a sprawling marketplace where people from all over the world come to buy cheap goods in bulk. Along the busy four-lane road the San San building is dominated by Nigerians, who sell clothing, shoes, watches and other goods to African customers. On the first floor of the same market a row of Nigerian-run shipping businesses offer packing and delivery services. Nigerian customers can do business is Guangzhou without interacting with Chinese.
