Still pick up Pinyin domains from the drops — You can

Good quality Pinyin domains drop every day.

I thought most meaningful Pinyin are by now owned by Chinese investors since there are over 900 million internet citizens and a sizable pool of investors in China. These Chinese domain investors even triggered the global domain boom in 2015/2016.

Therefore, it amazes me to see Pinyin domains dropping regularly in the last few months. For example, the following 10 Pinyin domains are now available for registration as of this writing.

Domain Pinyin Chinese Meaning
Haidiou.com Hai Di Ou 海地鸥 Gull of sea and land
Hongshuli.com Hong Shu Li 红薯里 Sweet potato neighborhood
Longyishun.com Long Yi Shun 龙一瞬 Dragon, in the twinkle of an eye
Jinxingchang.com Jin Xing Chang 尽心尝 Try wholeheartedly
Wogeke.com Wo Ge Ke 握个客 To grasp individual client
Aidatan.com Ai Da Tan 爱打探 Love to scout out
Fengmidi.com Feng Mi Di 蜂蜜帝 Emperor of honey
Gushutang.com Gu Shu Tang 古书堂 Hall of ancient books
Jingfuxin.com Jing Fu Xin 静福心 A heart with tranquility and happiness
Kailanna.com Kai Lan Na 凯蓝娜 Triumphant, blue, elegant

As you can see, many of these Pinyin domains are quite short –- fewer than 10 characters. Imagine investing just $10 to acquire a domain such as Fengmidi.com to develop it into a business empire supplying honey to 1.4 billion consumers in China. The opportunity is unmeasurable!

The interesting thing is that I do not deliberately look for Pinyin domains. In fact, I mainly invest in English-based domains but somehow Pinyin names just come across my desk as I scan domains provided by ExpiredDomains.net every day.
