Also re why they listed two cities: this is a special administrative oddity, yiwu (义乌）is technically a direct-administered county-level city under Zhejiang province, but it's under the jurisdiction of jinhua (金华), a prefecture-level city.

Yes, a weird political system/arrandement, as economically 金华 has long been exceeded by 义乌 :) https://www.zhihu.com/question/264785919

<p>I have to send a package to a chinese address. This is the address the seller gave me:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>zhuwei <em>12345678901</em></p>
<p>China zhe jiang sheng jin hua shi yi wu shi <em>7</em>th Floor, Building <em>3</em>,
Kaichuang Park, No.<em>123</em>, <em>Foo</em> Road, <em>Bar</em> Street</p>
<p>CN <em>123456</em> jin hua shi zhe jiang sheng</p>
</blockquote>
<p>(Note that I changed the parts in <em>italic</em> in order to anonymize the address a bit. I always kept the number of digits the same as in the original address.)</p>
<p>I cannot just write free text onto the parcel, I have to follow the format:</p>
<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/ZFv3I.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/ZFv3I.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
<p>Can anyone help me put the correct bits of that adress into the form? More concretely:</p>
<ul>
<li>What is the first and last name?</li>
<li>I assume postal code is <em>123456</em>?</li>
<li>What is the town/city?</li>
<li>There is Road and Street in the address, so what do I write into the street textbox? And what about the Kaichuang Park, shouldn't that be part of that entry too?</li>
<li>What is the house number? Building <em>3</em>?</li>
<li>What is the province?</li>
<li>What is all the rest of that address?</li>
</ul>

I have to send a package to a chinese address. This is the address the seller gave me:

> zhuwei *12345678901*
>
> China zhe jiang sheng jin hua shi yi wu shi *7*th Floor, Building *3*,
> Kaichuang Park, No.*123*, *Foo* Road, *Bar* Street
>
> CN *123456* jin hua shi zhe jiang sheng

(Note that I changed the parts in *italic* in order to anonymize the address a bit. I always kept the number of digits the same as in the original address.)

I cannot just write free text onto the parcel, I have to follow the format:
