From September 19th to 21st, a group of special visitors—eight internet influencers from Russia, India, Egypt, South Korea, Bangladesh, Australia, Poland, and other countries—came to Shanwei, using short videos to record its stories, explore its culture, and convey its voice, thus allowing the world to learn about the city.
Rushing into the live streaming room to promote a variety of jewelry
On September 19th, the foreign friends arrived at Ketang Jewelry Market, their first stop in Shanwei. Upon entering the market, a dazzling array of jewelry greeted their eyes, including gemstone rings and hair crystal bracelets. In the adjacent raw material market, over 120 types of gems such as Tanzanian sapphires and Brazilian south red agates are showcased, leaving the foreign friends dazzled.

As the "Capital of Chinese Colored Gemstones", Ketang's crystal product processing accounts for more than 70% of the world's total, with an annual processing volume of more than 50,000 tons of colored gemstones and an output value of nearly 5 billion yuan.
During the visit, the foreign friends also rushed into the Douyin e-commerce live streaming room to promote Ketang jewelry personally. "321! Post the link!" They learned about live streaming on the spot, introduced products to the audience enthusiastically and tried on products, experiencing the hot vibe of live e-commerce.
"The government of Ketang Town has introduced an e-commerce supply chain platform into the jewelry market, equipped with advanced live streaming equipment and a technical team, selling products worldwide," the person in charge of the market said.
"The Capital of Chinese Colored Gemstones deserves its reputation." The blogger @Maco in Dongguan (Maco在东莞), who boasts millions of fans on Douyin, expressed that he could never imagine there being such an enormous jewelry trading market, with nearly 4,000 commercial stalls. Both the quantity and quality of the products are impeccable.
The upgrade of the traditional gemstone industry also amazed South Korean blogger @Minrui (敏瑞), who bought several crystal bracelets on the spot to take back to South Korea as presents for her friends. "Here, there is the preservation and inheritance of traditional craftsmanship, the integration of innovative design and the application of modern technology, as well as the specialized product quality inspection institutions, which allow consumers to shop with confidence," said Minrui.
Unveiling the strong "engine" of smart manufacturing
Walking into the workshop of Guangdong Dynamikwell Technology Co., LTD (hereinafter referred to as "Dynamikwell"), the foreign friends were deeply attracted by the busy and well-organized scene. Workers skillfully operated various large machinery and equipment, from coil winding, welding, and glue filling to motor mover molding, and then to the installation of base rails, magnetic rails, positioners, and other devices—every link revealed professionalism and precision.
"Every year, more than 30,000 sets of linear motor modules are shipped from here to well-known equipment manufacturers in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, providing power devices for domestic smart manufacturing," said Cai Guokai, the person in charge of the production of Dynamikwell. Established in Shenzhen in 2012, the company focuses on the research and production of linear motors, gradually mastering its core technology and promoting domestic replacement. In 2016, the production base of Dynamikwell's linear motors settled in Haifeng.
"This is the first time I have witnessed the operation of a production line. How fantastic the manufacturing industry in Shanwei is!" said Polish blogger @MonkeyBro in Guangdong (猴哥在广东). The development model of "Shenzhen headquarters + Shanwei base" fully utilizes both the advantages of research and development conditions in Shenzhen and the efficient capacity of the production base in Shanwei. He was deeply impressed by the products of fast manufacturing and high precision, and the company's annual performance growth rate of 80%.
