[2025 Guangzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Exhibition Hall of China Import and Export Fair (Updated May)

#bucketlistreboot My first time in China, and first business trip abroad feels so memorable. Canton fair was held every twice a year until the pandemic and was one of the most revered products expo in China. Guangzhou the host of Canton fair is one of the most strategic business city of China. How to Apply- You needed to fill the form and apply online for the fair, then you will receive an invitation email How to apply for visa- Once you receive the invitation, gather your documents like employment certificate or business documents as well as bank statement and application for visa to the Chinese consulate, Visa can be obtained quickly then and there. You have to submit the payment of visa once you obtain the visa. I am not sure if Canton fair is being held now or not specially after pandemic and surge in online businesses. But it was quite an experience watching all things specially new items that you never knew existed come into the market and you are able to check them, touch them or try them physically. Spare at least a week or even more if you are looking for exploring the city and beyond. If you are in a trading business or online business looking to connect with the vendors and checking new products, it is one of the must visit.

Canton fair 2025

**My Canton Fair 2025 Phase 1 Adventure: Tech, Toys & Endless Walking!** Stepping into the **Canton Fair (Pazhou Complex)** for Phase 1 felt like entering the Olympics of global trade—overwhelming, electrifying, and full of surprises. Here’s how it went down: ### **First Impressions: "This Place is a City!"** The scale hit me immediately—**30+ exhibition halls**, 10km of walking per day (RIP my feet), and a sea of buyers from Nigeria to Norway. I grabbed a paper map (yes, they still exist) and instantly regretted not downloading the e-guide. ### **Hall Hopping & Standout Finds** - **Electronics Hall (Hall 3.1):** Saw a **foldable electric car** (yes, it folded into a suitcase) and AI kitchen robots that chop, stir, and judge your cooking skills. - **Home Appliances (Hall 1.2):** A **"self-cleaning" air fryer** that had me questioning my life choices. Also, *so many* weirdly specific gadgets (garlic-peeling machines, anyone?). - **LED & Lighting (Hall 2.1):** Glittering chandeliers, **mood-lit mirrors**, and a booth where a salesman insisted I needed "party disco floor tiles" for my apartment. ### **The Art of the Deal** - **Sample freebies:** Stocked up on mini Bluetooth speakers, USB fans, and a suspiciously heavy "ergonomic" pillow. - **Haggling fails:** Tried negotiating for bulk e-bikes—got a polite "For you, special price: $1,000/unit" (aka "no"). - **Coffee survival:** Chugged **¥20 lattes** from vending machines to stay awake between meetings. ### **People-Watching Gold** - A European buyer testing **motorized roller skates** (spoiler: he wiped out). - A group of TikTok livestreamers screaming into phones: *"OMG this hair straightener also makes toast!!"* - The **"I’ve seen everything"** face of veteran traders sipping tea in the food court. ### **Pro Tips for Future Victims (Attendees)** ✔️ **Wear bulletproof sneakers** (your feet *will* hate you). ✔️ **Bring snacks** (food court lines are brutal). ✔️ **Target halls early**—by Day 3, sellers are tired and out of catalogs. ✔️ **Learn "How much?" in Mandarin** (*"Duōshǎo qián?"*), but expect replies in English. ### **Final Verdict** Exhausting? Absolutely. Worth it? 100%. Where else can you see **robot dogs, neon toilet seats, and 10,000 types of power strips** in one place? Already planning my Phase 2 attack. **Anyone else been? What was your weirdest find?** 😆 --- *P.S. For non-trade folks: It’s like Comic-Con, but for wholesale toothbrushes.*

Very big place for show of more appliances and I saw more factories suppliers. This was my first travel to China and it was very good. If you want to see the products and representatives of famous Chinese companies up close, you should participate in the exhibition and see their products up close. The exhibition is built on about 85 acres of land and takes approximately 4 days for each section to be displayed. #guangzhou #cantonfair #business
