A Glimpse into China’s Factories of Excellence: Inside Our Visit to Meilong’s Manufacturing Hub
As part of the China Leadership & Business Summit 2026 (Canton Fair Edition), delegates experienced a rare, behind-the-scenes tour of leading jewelry manufacturing facilities in Meilong Town, Haifeng County—widely recognized as the “China Jewelry Capital.”

From Concept to Craft: The Full Production Journey
Inside the factories, delegates witnessed the complete value chain—from initial design and research & development to precision manufacturing and global distribution. The integration of advanced technologies stood out, with processes such as 3D printing, laser engraving, high-temperature enamel finishing, and intricate gemstone inlay demonstrating how innovation enhances both efficiency and artistry.
At the same time, traditional craftsmanship remains deeply embedded in production. Skilled artisans carefully refine each piece, ensuring that heritage techniques complement modern methods to produce jewelry of exceptional quality.

This ability to scale efficiently while preserving craftsmanship is a key factor behind China’s dominance in the global jewelry supply chain.
