For many overseas travelers arriving in Shanghai, the Bund and the Oriental Pearl Tower are no longer the first stops on their itineraries. Instead, they head straight to the South Bund Soft Spinning Material Market, where custom-tailored outfits have become a signature experience driving "Chinamaxxing," a viral lifestyle trend popular among global travelers.
The market buzzed with energy, with conversations in various foreign languages echoing across storefronts, when a Global Times reporter visited it on a work day.
Tourists from different countries take body measurements, browse design references, and discuss tailoring preferences with local shopkeepers.
Evolving from the time-honored Dongjiadu cloth market, the area now hosts more than 280 fabric vendors and tailor studios, forming a complete industrial ecosystem for custom apparel.
Inside one local shop, two foreign tourists excitedly tried on a series of Tang-style garments, taking photos of their favorite looks before professional tailors record precise measurements for their custom-fit clothing.
Gabbo, an Italian traveler, told the Global Times that he first discovered the market through TikTok and Instagram. As silk markets in Shanghai have grown popular among Italian tourists, he and his travel companion Nicco came specifically to shop for authentic traditional Chinese garments and premium silk pieces.
"I picked out a brown Tang-style jacket and a white shirt, while Nicole got matching white shorts. We wanted to try something new and plan to wear our custom outfits out tonight because the styles are very fashionable," Gabbo said. "The bespoke measuring service is professional and thoughtful, and the whole shopping experience has been wonderful."
Intl tourists emerge as a major forceBenefiting from China's visa-free policy covering Italy, the pair only needed to submit standard tourist documents for entry. They plan to stay in China for roughly two weeks to explore local culture and lifestyles.
Local tailor shop owners have witnessed a striking surge in overseas customer demand. Driven by expanded visa-free policies and viral social media exposure, growing numbers of foreign tourists come to the market for original Chinese-style custom clothing.
According to shop owner Li, international visitors now account for 30 to 40 percent of her clientele, a dramatic reversal from previous years when domestic customers dominated orders.
"We source fabrics directly from suppliers and hire in-house tailors to eliminate middleman markups. Our bespoke pieces cost only one-third of similar custom outfits in Western countries," Li explained. The shop also offers expedited services tailored for short-stay travelers, allowing visitors to pick up finished garments within days.
All garments feature original in-house designs that retain classic Tang-style outlines with soft, wearable color tones suitable for daily wear. Many foreign customers style the traditional jackets with casual trousers and sneakers, creating unique, modern outfits that blend Eastern aesthetics and Western casual fashion, Li said.
Qian, another tailor with 20 years of industry experience, has also seen robust growth in overseas orders, with her annual order volume rising 20 percent year-on-year.
Most foreign visitors come for custom-tailored suits and enjoy the full immersive bespoke production process. Her workshop divides labor for suits, shirts and dresses to boost efficiency, once completing a full set of custom clothes and delivering them to a tourist's hotel by 10 p.m. on the very day of ordering. The studio also accepts personalized design drafts brought by international visitors.
Backed by the mature textile supply chain of the Yangtze River Delta, hand-tailored suits at the market cost merely one-quarter of equivalent bespoke outfits in Europe, with 24-hour rush order services available. This year, market foot traffic has increased roughly 30 percent year-on-year, with foreign shoppers making up 60 percent of all customers, the Global Times learned from the market.
Behind the change are China's visa-free policies. China's 240-hour visa-free transit policy covering 55 countries has greatly facilitated cross-border travel. Official data shows China received 22.91 million inbound foreign visits in the first half of 2026, a year-on-year increase of 20.4 percent, China Media Group reported.
From short-term visits to lasting influence
Boosted by China's visa-free policies, the social media trend "Chinamaxxing" has gone viral worldwide. Easier cross-border travel has allowed young foreigners to immerse themselves deeply in authentic Chinese lifestyles, including traditional fitness practices, Chinese dramas and local food culture.
Beyond garment customization, Shanghai's inbound tourism experience sector continues to expand. Spring Travel recently launched hands-on traditional snack workshops for foreign visitors, focusing on wonton and spring roll making. Tourists can cook, taste homemade snacks and learn the cultural stories behind local cuisine.
The workshops have received visitor groups from the US, Brazil and Australia and earned wide praise, the Global Times learned from Spring Travel.
Sugiurat Akuto, one foreign participant, said that making Shanghai snacks left him with precious travel memories. Before leaving China, he asked chefs for original recipes, hoping to recreate authentic Chinese delicacies at home and share his unique Shanghai travel experience with family and friends.
Unlike disposable souvenir purchases during routine sightseeing, custom-tailored clothes and learnable cultural skills turn short travel experiences into enduring cross-cultural connections. "These custom outfits will remain precious memories for decades. Even 20 years later, we will still remember custom-tailoring clothes in China. Every time I see these garments in my wardrobe, I will recall this special trip," Gabbo said, adding that distinctive local custom pieces are far more valuable than ordinary travel souvenirs.
Industry analysts note that the Chinamaxxing phenomenon marks a structural upgrade in China's inbound tourism consumption. Driven by optimized visa policies, foreign travelers are shifting from superficial landmark sightseeing to high-value, personalized immersive experiences. Longer stays and upgraded consumption drive coordinated growth of modern service industries and inject new vitality into China's service economy.
Research by the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce shows that inbound tourists who opt for customized consumption stay an average of six to seven days in Shanghai, more than double the city's average 3.21-day stay for general foreign visitors.
Current cultural tourism experiential products represent only the initial stage of this emerging industry. China's rich cultural resources can be continuously developed into high-quality, replicable tourism offerings for global audiences, Zhang Yi, CEO of iiMedia Research, told the Global Times on Tuesday.
Most importantly, the Chinamaxxing trend boosts people‑to‑people exchanges. One‑off on‑site travel purchases translate into steady overseas demand and repeat orders, helping international audiences gain deeper insight into China's charm, Zhang noted.
。 美媒《Fadeaway World》晒出一笔三方交易方案,湖人送走布朗尼换回防守悍将,76人促成布朗尼与詹姆斯父子再次重聚,快船则一口气收下两名年轻球员,对于已经全面围绕东契奇争冠的湖人来说,这笔交易确实有一定吸引力。
三方交易方案如下
湖人得到:克里斯-邓恩、2031年次轮签;
76人得到:布朗尼;
快船得到:克内克特、杰登-哈迪。

邓恩恰好补上湖人短板
从湖人的角度来看,这笔交易最大的价值就是补防守。上赛季邓恩打满82场,场均贡献7.3分3.3板3.6助1.6断,投篮命中率47.6%,三分命中率37.4%。他的数据并不起眼,可湖人现在真正缺少的也不是另一个控球手,东契奇、里夫斯、塞克斯顿和格莱姆斯都能处理球,球队更需要一名愿意承担外线最难防守任务的后卫。邓恩最大的价值就是领防、挤掩护和对持球人的持续施压。

三 | 东契奇和里夫斯需要把更多体力留在进攻端,格莱姆斯也不可能每晚承担所有困难对位,如果邓恩加入,湖人可以直接让他去盯对方最有威胁的后卫,同时还能投进空位三分,不需要占用太多球权。更关键的是,这笔方案还能帮助湖人节省大约680万美元薪资,对于一支已经押注当下的球队来说,这种即战力明显比继续囤积年轻后卫更实用。

真正让这笔交易充满话题性的还是布朗尼。上赛季他为湖人出战42场,场均只有2.9分0.5板1.2助,不过三分命中率达到38.6%,发展联盟期间则能贡献15.6分3.1板3.6助,整体表现相比进入联盟初期有所提升。布朗尼当然还有培养价值,可湖人现在的时间线已经完全围绕东契奇展开,相比等待布朗尼、克内克特和哈迪未来两三年慢慢成长,换来一名可以直接进入季后赛轮换的防守后卫,显然更符合球队目前的思路。
76人促成詹姆斯父子重聚
76人得到布朗尼的代价则很低,只需要付出一枚2031年次轮签。布朗尼新赛季工资只有230万美元,2027-28赛季还是球队选项,76人完全可以继续让他在发展联盟成长,也不需要挤占马克西、杰伦-布朗等主要轮换的时间。更大的意义自然是詹姆斯,41岁的詹姆斯今夏加盟76人,职业生涯也进入最后阶段,如果球队只用一枚次轮就能让父子再次成为队友,同时得到一名21岁的年轻后卫,风险不高的同时回报有可能巨大,完全值得球队考虑。
快船同样得到年轻资产
快船则送走32岁、合同只剩一年的邓恩,换来24岁的哈迪和克内克特。

五 | 哈迪上赛季场均9.2分,三分命中率39.7%,克内克特虽然表现下滑,但依然拥有投射和身体天赋,如果快船准备进一步年轻化,用一名老将换两名年轻得分手同样说得通。所以这笔三方交易方案有望实现各取所需,76人促成詹姆斯父子重聚,快船拿到两名年轻球员,湖人则用3名暂时很难进入季后赛核心轮换的球员,换来邓恩这种真正适合东契奇身边的防守拼图。对于现在的湖人来说,球队已经完全进入东契奇时代,如果能把有限的年轻筹码变成更加适合争冠的即战力,管理层确实值得认真考虑。
