Guangzhou
A major business, shopping and cultural destination.
About Guangzhou
Guangzhou is southern China's business and trading capital, home of the Canton Fair and a maze of wholesale markets covering everything from textiles to electronics. It's also a genuinely enjoyable city — riverside parks, dim sum houses and a 600-metre television tower lit up over the Pearl River.
For buyers, this is our specialty: we combine Canton Fair registration, factory visits and market tours with comfortable hotels, interpreters and Halal or Indian food arrangements, so business trips don't feel like an obstacle course.
