International Firework Trade City in China!

Come along on a brief tour of the International Firework Trade City in Hunan province China outside of Liuyang! This footage is from my trip in November 2019. To my understanding, this area is used for wholesalers to sell firework supplies, such as packaging and act as a showroom etc.

Those giant cylinders are fountains?? Does it go 50 feet in the air or something? 😆

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

I only wish I had a chance to shoot one off!

[@phuturefireworkz2520]

Those gigantic fountains cake are like a mix, usually 40-60 1.2" shots mixed with continuous high fountain that goes around for 3 minutes. The fountain itself is not the most impressive part, but the packaging is lol.

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Thanks! Glad to be back. I think I have published more videos in the last two weeks then I did in the last two years :O

Dude you got to hang out with Boom Wow Rep Carson! Awesome! All those stores are amazing! 👍🇺🇸💥🧨

[@benjaminheinrich2796]

Was watching another one of you videos while this popped up lol

[@Mr.Knallfrosch]

I would've loved to see some more of the actual products that they have. I've basically seen nothing but two or three items being shown here. Would've been nice if you had gone through a whole store and showed everything that they got.

[@Anon0987-l6d]

i enjoy comparing the color schemes and palettes on cake wraps used in different countries.. china, orange, red, yellow, pink, gold. europe, black, yellow, white. usa, all color combinations most popular red white blue.

[@j-diggitygaming8575]

I’m assuming you went before all of this Covid stuff started haha. Awesome video man.

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Yep, Nov '19. I don't think we are even allowed to go there currently. Which is sad because I was looking to make a return trip this year.

[@phuturefireworkz2520]

@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics Same. I originally planned to go to Liuyang in the summer vacation and visit a daytime cake factory, blasting off fireworks on Jingtan, and do some 8" shell for only 18$ each!!! (Converting from CNY to Dollars). Unlucky it's cancelled or maybe extended to next year. If I luckily meet you in Liuyang it must be super fun, I can do translation for you ^-^

[@SultrySeeder]

​@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics I was about to ask how were you able to go to China during the pandemic, but then I saw this comment saying it was before covid spread.

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

@@SultrySeeder Yeah, November of 2019, so a few months before shutdowns. I didn't take the footage with intentions of sharing on KZbin, but then watched it some time after and realized it was pretty cool regardless lol

[@DeathStroke115]

You're living my dream right now Keep up the good work props to you

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Thank you! I'll try to share more adventures as they happen.

[@phuturefireworkz2520]

I've actually been here before haha. I found a few actually fireworks with powder, and the owner actually gave some of them to me for free!

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

That is awesome! I mean there was that guy that was lighting in the street so I assumed there was live product, but was told there wasn't. I'll have to go back!

[@phuturefireworkz2520]

Don't ever ask for product, ask for some "try out". That's called Chinese fireworks market strategies. 😏

[@leafybug04]

How do the prices compare to what we pay in the US? I would assume that they are substantially cheaper in China

[@monkeywentbananas]

Joel do you have more video from this fireworks bizarre? I would love to see how you buy and import these kinds of Fireworks!

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

I have tons of random footage, but everything in this video was actually meant for mainland China. All of the manufacturing and importing are whole other areas.

[@EG-kk8qd]

Since there's so many stores in one spot... Do stores have certain things others don't ya know?

[@jnickle8965]

[@LouisianaPyro93]

Very nice, I’d love to get my own brand and logo one day.

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Right? Now that is the dream

[@gapyrodawg5181]

I've been wanting to start a OL brand called "Dirty Sanchez Brand" with all the names of cakes kinda adult themed. Like the 100shot Reach Around, or the Half&Half Fountain that ends in Salutes. Oh and can't forget the Mega Overloaded Firecrackers called "Pimp Slap"😂🤣😂.

[@TodayILookInto]

@@gapyrodawg5181 So you had that 200 shot cake Dirty Sanchez? Jk.

[@midland6522]

Very cool video 👍

[@gregzielinski]

Is there any way to buy these items and light them off somewhere locally? Do they restrict the size of items at retail in China? Knowing I'd never see these items in the U.S., could you go over there and just buy it and light it locally?

[@stephenclark1551]

Joel, do you know how many units you have to buy for them to wrap their product using your logo? Once upon a time it was 500 cases per item.

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

That is a great question. I thought someone told me recently like 200 cases, but that could also depend on the factory.

[@buckeye2108]

What were the prices of some of those fireworks; from China?

[@navichu3546]

1:26 idk why I laughed at that

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

It was an odd one that is for sure haha

[@gapyrodawg5181]

Wow, those Fountains are crazy!!! You gotta shoot one of those so we can see just how they Perform⛲🤔⛲ I love seeing what's available on the other side of the Pond. Definitely need more vids like this please!!! Thanks for the peak at some stuff most of us here didn't even know existed👍👍

[@jhoonijr3005]

Can you plz tell where it is located? Or tell me province name

[@thedarkemissary]

So the shops themselves are just displays or what? I don't get it.

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

I guess it was mixed. But yeah it's like advertising packaging of fireworks or something. I didn't quite get it either since there were tons of stores that looked the same. Cool regardless!

[@infamouspyro1953]
