Many clothing stores have closed down.
There’s no high-tech.
Twenty years ago, Shishi became a famous city in China thanks to its garment industry.
However, low- and mid-end clothing stores have been eliminated by e-commerce.
In 2024, the permanent population of Shishi City was 706,000, and the urbanization rate was 86.38%.
Shishi City is located in Quanzhou and has a population of only 500,000. In 1993, it was mainly engaged in the clothing industry, including zippers, various clothing accessories, fabrics, and a series of clothing industry chains. Shishi City has not made significant progress in its transformation into e-commerce sales of clothing in recent years.
Due to the impact of the Internet, many factories are vacant, many stores are for rent, and with the loss of population, many apartments are vacant.
