Most buyers fly into Ningbo Lishe (NGB), Hangzhou Xiaoshan (HGH) or one of the two Shanghai airports (PVG and SHA) and continue by road; high-speed rail to Ningbo or Yuyao with a road transfer is the other common route. Travel times depend on the airport, the route and traffic, so confirm them when the visit is booked rather than planning to the minute. Practical points to settle in advance: your visa and entry requirements, which change by nationality and should be checked with the Chinese embassy or your travel agent; the hotel, since most buyers stay in central Ningbo or in Cixi itself; and whether you need transport arranged from the airport or the station. ## What a visit covers A normal visit walks the same route the product takes. The molding shop with its 15 injection molding machines, where ABS bodies and PC transparent parts are molded. The assembly area with 4 lines. The water test at the end of each line, where every finished unit runs for about 10 to 15 seconds. The packing bench, where cartons, labels, accessories and quantities are checked. Then the sample room, which holds the catalog models including the 75 handheld codes, so a buyer can handle several candidates side by side instead of comparing photographs. Bring the things that make the meeting concrete: the models or reference photos you are interested in, a benchmark sample if you have one, packaging references, your target quantity per model and per color, your market, and any test or document requirement your market imposes. A visit built around real numbers ends with a quotation; a visit built around a general look around ends with a follow-up email. ## A meeting agenda you can copy 1. Introductions, legal name and registration, and who does what on the account. 2. Walk the line: molding, assembly, water test, packing, rework area. 3. Sample room: handle the shortlist, agree which codes go forward. 4. Specification per model: color, finish, filter medium, spray modes, thread, hose and holder. 5. Packaging: package type, artwork responsibility, carton size, quantity per carton, marks. 6. Testing: what is tested on every unit, what is sampled, and what report you need. 7. Quantities, MOQ per color, and the price break points. 8. Lead time for samples, for the first order, and for a repeat order. 9. Terms: Incoterms, port of loading, payment, and inspection arrangements. 10. Next steps in writing, with dates and owners. After the visit, ask for the meeting summary, the quotation in the legal name, sample photos of anything agreed, and the packing details. Anything not written down in the week after a factory visit tends to be remembered differently by both sides. ## If you cannot travel A live video walkthrough covers the same route: molding, assembly, the water test and packing, on a normal production day, with your questions asked while the camera is moving. It is booked the same way as a visit, and it is the check most buyers use before a first order. Pre-shipment inspection by a third-party agency covers the finished order, and a wider third-party factory audit is arranged per project. Meetings at Chinese trade fairs, including the Canton Fair, are arranged case by case. Whichever route you choose, book it against a real production day: an empty line tells you nothing. ## FAQ ### Can buyers visit the ZHONGHE factory? Yes. Write to steven@ningboware.com or call +86-574-6369-2975 to arrange a visit to the plant at No.3 Jiangxi Road, Cangtian, Changhe Town, Cixi, Ningbo. Half a day covers molding, assembly, water testing, packing, the sample room and a meeting. ### Which airport is closest to the factory? Ningbo Lishe (NGB) is the closest, with Hangzhou Xiaoshan (HGH) and the two Shanghai airports (PVG and SHA) as the usual alternatives. Travel times depend on the route and traffic, so confirm them when the visit is booked. ### What should we bring to the meeting? Target models or reference photos, a benchmark sample, packaging references, quantities per model and per color, your market, and any test or document requirement. That turns the meeting into a quotation instead of a tour. ### Can we meet at a trade fair instead? Meetings at Chinese trade fairs, including the Canton Fair, are arranged case by case. Ask by email with your dates and the models you want to see. ### What if we cannot travel to China? Book a live video walkthrough of molding, assembly, water testing and packing, order a sample of the exact model and finish, and use a third-party pre-shipment inspection on the first order. A wider third-party audit is arranged per project. ## Related pages - https://www.ningboware.com/manufacturer/verify-the-factory-audit-and-identification/ - https://www.ningboware.com/manufacturer/cixi-shower-head-manufacturer/ - https://www.ningboware.com/manufacturer/ningbo-shower-head-factory/ - https://www.ningboware.com/manufacturer/shower-head-assembly-and-water-testing-line/ - https://www.ningboware.com/company/ - https://www.ningboware.com/contact/ - https://www.ningboware.com/catalog/
