ZHONGYAN TAIHE 500pcs Acupuncture Needles with Tube (All Sizes)
I ordered this bulk pack of ZHONGYAN TAIHE 500pcs acupuncture needles with guide tubes because I wanted a reliable, medical-grade option for my at-home acupuncture practice. What drew me in was the volume (500 pieces!) and the fact that it was one of the top-selling, best-reviewed sets in its category on AliExpress. With multiple sizes in one box, it seemed perfect for a full-body approach.
Shipping took around two and a half weeks to the US — not lightning fast, but honestly faster than I expected. Everything was packed well, sterile-sealed, and clearly labeled by size. The guide tubes made insertion quick and hygienic, and the needles felt very sharp, with virtually painless entry. I tried them on both body and facial acupuncture points — great control, minimal discomfort, and no bent tips (a common issue with cheap needles).
Pros:
-
Massive quantity for the price
-
Sharp, smooth insertion
-
Comes with guide tubes
-
Good size variety
Cons: – No English instructions on the box (but self-explanatory) – Not individually wrapped
Compared to similar quality needles in the US (like Seirin), these are about 60–70% cheaper. I honestly didn’t expect this level of quality from something so affordable. They absolutely met — even exceeded — my expectations.

SHENLONG 100pcs Acupuncture Needles with Guide Tubes
Next up was the SHENLONG 100pcs acupuncture needle pack. I wanted a smaller set to keep in a travel kit, and the fact that each needle came with a guide tube made this set feel much more hygienic for occasional or on-the-go use.
The delivery took 18 days and came in a slim, well-sealed box. The needles are thinner than the ZHONGYAN ones but still effective. What surprised me is how smooth the glide-in was. They’re ideal for facial use or more sensitive areas. I’ve had no issues with breakage or skin irritation.
Pros:
-
Comes with guide tubes
-
Lightweight and easy to use
-
Individually packed
-
Excellent for delicate points
Cons: – Slightly less sturdy than thicker options – Limited size options
In terms of price, this set cost me less than $5 — compared to about $15–20 for a similar quality pack in the US. I’d say it absolutely holds its own. Very satisfied.

ZHONGYAN TAIHE 500pcs Acupuncture Needles (No Tubes)
I ordered this ZHONGYAN TAIHE 500pcs acupuncture needle box as a refill for general use. This version doesn’t include guide tubes, which I thought would be fine for more experienced sessions where precision tools weren’t essential.
Shipping was pretty smooth — around 16 days. All needles came sterilized and neatly separated by size. The needles themselves are super sharp and straight. Insertion requires a bit more practice since there’s no tube, but with the right technique, it’s quick and clean. These are great for body acupuncture and more routine treatments.
Pros:
-
Excellent needle sharpness
-
Fantastic value (500pcs!)
-
Durable, high-quality steel
Cons: – No guide tubes – No protective padding inside the box (not a huge issue, just worth noting)
Price-wise, you’re paying about 3–4 cents per needle. In the US, you’d pay 3x that. These lived up to the hype and saved me money without sacrificing quality.

Generic 100pcs Acupuncture Needles with Tubes
This 100pcs generic acupuncture needle set with tubes caught my eye because of its minimal packaging and promise of quick-use needles. I wanted something smaller to test out needle flexibility and quality from a lesser-known brand.
Arrived in 19 days. The guide tubes weren’t as precisely molded as in the SHENLONG set, but they worked. The needles were surprisingly consistent in sharpness and didn’t cause any irritation. I liked these for short sessions or trial treatments.
Pros:
-
Affordable
-
Good for short sessions
-
Comes with basic guide tubes
Cons: – Lower quality packaging – Tubes could fit better
For under $4, I was impressed. They’re about the same cost as US acupuncture needles bought in bulk — but these include tubes and sterilization.

ZHONGYAN TAIHE 100pcs Dialysis Packaging Acupuncture Needles
This ZHONGYAN TAIHE 100pcs pack stood out because of the dialysis-style sterile packaging — a different design I hadn’t seen before. I was curious if it would affect storage or needle hygiene.
Shipping was fast — only 15 days. The packaging keeps everything ultra-clean. Each needle is in a sealed pocket and has excellent glide. These are super light and ideal for ear or hand acupuncture. They’re a little short, so they’re not suited for deep body work, but great for Sujok or auricular therapy.
Pros:
-
Unique, sterile packaging
-
Ideal for surface-level acupuncture
-
Lightweight and precise
Cons: – Not suitable for deep needling – Slightly more expensive per piece
Still much cheaper than similar US models, especially with this style of sterile wrap. Very pleased.

SHENLONG Sujok Needles 0.18x7mm (100pcs)
These SHENLONG 0.18x7mm Sujok needles were a spontaneous buy — I’ve been curious about Korean Sujok therapy and thought these could help me dive deeper. The super short length makes them perfect for hand or finger meridian work.
Arrived in about 20 days. Each needle is individually wrapped and extremely thin — they almost feel like acupuncture stickers. They’re painless to apply and work well with seed therapy or acupressure overlays.
Pros:
-
Very precise
-
Ideal for Sujok and hand therapy
-
Painless insertion
Cons: – Too short for most traditional acupuncture – Fragile (can bend easily)
These would cost twice as much in US acupuncture specialty stores. A great niche addition to my toolkit.

100pcs Press Needles for Ears & Skin
The 100pcs press acupuncture needles were something I ordered for passive treatment sessions — especially for auricular points or skin acupressure. The price was unbeatable and reviews raved about their adhesion.
They came in 3 weeks. Each sticker had a small embedded needle that pressed into the skin without piercing deeply. I tested them on ear points for insomnia and stress — and was honestly surprised by how well they stayed on overnight. Minimal discomfort, and no irritation afterward.
Pros:
-
Great for beginners
-
Non-invasive
-
Stick well and last overnight
Cons: – Not reusable – Stickiness varies a little
I’ve paid $10–15 for similar sets in local wellness shops — these were less than half the price. Will definitely reorder.

10 Boxes (1000pcs) Acupuncture Needles — No Tubes
Finally, I went big with this bulk set of 1000pcs acupuncture needles — perfect for those who do regular treatments or run a small practice. No tubes, just solid, consistent needles.
Shipping took about 3 weeks, but I expected that with the volume. The packaging was dense and heavy but everything arrived intact. The quality is on par with more expensive brands — sharp, clean, and sterile. I’ve already used over 100 needles with no breakage or bent tips.
Pros:
-
Bulk savings
-
Reliable sharpness
-
Great for experienced users
Cons: – No tubes or frills – A bit overwhelming if you’re a beginner
For the price (under $25 for 1000 pieces), this is a steal. US equivalents cost upwards of $60. Totally worth the wait.
US $28.07
Final Thoughts
This was my first time ordering a big batch of acupuncture supplies from AliExpress, and I honestly didn’t expect everything to be this good. While shipping isn’t instant, the savings and quality balance it out. Every product exceeded my expectations in some way — whether through sharpness, packaging, or performance. If you’re familiar with acupuncture and willing to wait a few weeks, these are solid buys. I’ll absolutely be ordering more — probably more press needles and another box of the SHENLONG Sujok ones next.
