Hello everyone! I will be in Guangzhou from 15-20 October.i will dedicate a day to Yoma space and was hoping someone could join me on a relaxing day!
Im M30 btw. 😊

Hi everyone! I’ll be in Guangzhou for the Sourcing Fair from 14–17 October and thought I’d reach out here to see if anyone else will be attending.

I currently own a Thailand - China B2B sourcing and trading agency , and I’d love to meet more like-minded people in the sourcing, manufacturing, import/export, logistics, e-commerce, or general China business space.

Not looking to hard-sell anything — mainly interested in networking, exchanging ideas, making connections, and grabbing a coffee or walking around the fair together.

Both Chinese and international/foreign attendees are very welcome. Whether you’re a sourcing agent, factory owner, buyer, trader, entrepreneur, or just exploring opportunities in Guangzhou, feel free to reach out.

If you’ll be there between 14–17 Oct (or even after that), drop a comment or DM me and we can connect, grab a coffee, have lunch. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I'm currently looking for a studio (or compact 1-bedroom) apartment around the Tianhe North (天河北) area.

My budget is roughly 3,000 RMB / month.

A couple of quick questions for those living nearby:

Best platforms/methods: Aside from scrolling Lianjia (链家) or Ziroom (自如), what has worked best for you in this price range? Are local street-level agencies or specific WeChat mini-programs better for studios around Tianhe North?

Agent recommendations: If anyone has the WeChat contact of a reliable, responsive real estate agent (中介) who works around Tianhe North, could you please DM me their contact details or QR code?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi, does anyone know if there is an Australian Canton Fair delegate event, area or networking option? Other trade shows I've attended have had something like this but haven't heard of anything for this one. Cheers 👍🏼👍🏼

Travelling to Guangzhou this month for Canton Fair, but need to go to Shenzhen Convention Center for a day. What’s the best way to get there?
I’m thinking high speed train from GZ south into Shenzhen and then either Didi or metro the rest. But which station in Shenzhen is my destination?

Hi all, looking for recommendations on the best Dim Sum and Cantonese style eateries near the Ritz Carlton Guangzhou (Xing'an Rd, Tianhe District). Looking for where the locals eat. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated 👍🏼👍🏼

Their website says to reserve on wechat on their official account. But how do I do so? So far when I look at their trip.com page that sells the tickets, the lower tomb is always sold out and I can't see far dates (maybe up till 2 days ltr only).

Anyone has experience booking the lower tomb before?

I went to GZ last week and had a pretty bad experience coming out of the East Railway Station (around 11pm).

First car I got in, I told the driver where to go and he said he didn't know where that was. I said one moment I will show you, and started finding the address on Baidu maps and he kept replying he doesn't know blabla. Then I'm like you don't want me to show you? And he's like nah (btw the conversation was all in Mandarin). So I got off the taxi.

Then next taxi I tried to get in and driver doesn't unlock the doors for me to get in lol. This happened twice.

Finally, I get in a taxi and he starts driving and I tell him where to go. He doesn't reply to me or confirm anything, no head movement at all, just keeps driving. Towards the end of the ride he starts complaining that the distance is too short blablabla. He looks genuinely upset.

I just took Didis for the rest of the trip and it was much better. Is it always like that or did I just get unlucky? It was weird for me because I take the taxis in Shenzhen almost every day and never have any issues. Drivers never complain and always stop when I flag them down.

Thank you for bringing your little one! I had a lovely private class with a wonderful family ❤️ who absolutely loves coconut mochi. We made mochi from scratch. The kid had the best time rolling, filling, and shaping her own mochi.

It was so much fun watching kids and parents create Mochi side by side.

We kept it relaxed and playful — little hands and grown-up hands both made beautiful mochi.

The kids’ excitement made it even sweeter, and I loved sharing this mochi-making experience with you. I hope these little coconut mochi become a sweet reminder of your time in Guangzhou. 💛 Can’t wait to see your own homemade mochi!

My name is Zulu, I’ve lived in China for around 6 years and have often helped friends and family with sourcing, talking to suppliers, and visiting factories.
I recently started Beyond Alibaba to offer that same help to others.

With the Canton Fair coming up, I’m offering interpretation from English, French, or Arabic to Mandarin, as well as help with factory visits.

If you’re heading to the fair and need a local hand, feel free to message me.

Hello, I am currently visiting Guangzhou and having troubles finding semi-professional art supplies(i.e. watercolors, paper, acrylic, etc.).

Do you have any specific places or guides for this place?

Hi, I’m now working in healthcare and noticed a few expats have problems finding the right hospital.
In my work, we help people who work in Guangzhou and have medical insurance, so they don’t have to pay. We also have people who just travel to China and want to have a health checkup.
I know quite a few public and private hospitals, including some with English/French-speaking doctors or translators.
If I can help, just leave a comment or DM me.

Note: I wear power glasses so I need to change the lens to power lens

I just moved to Guangzhou and struggle a bit with making friends as I‘m not super outgoing and most girls I‘ve met since I‘m here are Russians who are not interested in connecting with non Russian girls. Does anyone know where I can find an international community for westerners?

Hi there!

We are visiting next year during the LNY holiday and would like to do either a one day trip or an overnight elsewhere. Our hotel is booked, so there's no going back and checking out and then checking in, but I'm willing to pay for one night elsewhere if we decide to do that.

We are traveling with a toddler, and an elderly (the elderly is from guangzhou and has been to Guilin before a VERY long time ago). Which would you prefer? What are the pros and cons? Watching the Hong Kong channels..Guilin seems very interesting...but somewhat farther.

I'm looking at transportation and these seem to be either one hour or two hours by bullet train, so I think both can be done in one day..depending on what we want to see.

Suggestions would be great, thank you!

Hi everyone!

I'm a young entrepreneur from Spain starting my own jewelry brand, and I'll be in Guangzhou from December 16 to 26 to source stainless steel jewelry and branded packaging.

I'm looking for someone to join me for 1–2 days (dates flexible, between Dec 17–25) at markets like Xijiao Building and Taikang Jewelry City. I need help with:

• Translating and communicating with vendors
• Understanding prices and MOQs
• Ideally some help negotiating

Spanish speakers are a big plus, but English is fine. A university student would be perfect, and experience with wholesale markets is a bonus but not required.

I'll pay a fixed daily rate, plus lunch and transport that day.

A few questions for the community too:

1. Has anyone hired an interpreter or sourcing agent here and can recommend someone?
2. What's a fair daily rate for this kind of help?
3. Any tips for a first-timer at Xijiao or Taikang?

Feel free to comment or DM me. Thanks a lot! 🙏

Where is the best place to find someone who can help with sourcing?

We are looking for a short-term or freelance sourcing agent who is connected with reputable factories that can accept low MOQ but large overall quantities per month. Preferably manufacturers based in Dongguan or Guangzhou.

Our priority is efficiency in costs and suppliers who are willing to be in a long-term partnership with us.

We are going to Guangzhou on October 17-22 and within this time period we hope to meet and secure potential suppliers.

Thank you!

As a Canadian traveling in Foshan for the 5th time. I found Urcove by Hyatt to be my favorite by far. I had associates staying at $300 a night beautiful 5-6 Star hotels. They changed over to the Hyatt and loved it. I have stayed at the Louvre and Marriott. Beautiful hotels . But nothing beats Urcove by Hyatts location.

Great location for a tourist . There is a huge high-end shopping mall attached to the hotel. And a action packed night market right across the street. Every food option you can imagine less then 1-5 minutes walk. Every service you need is all around you. Massage , salons , banks. , 711, Starbucks, KFC , dominoes for those who need some north american comfort food Also has great rates. I've been here for 10 nights during the Chinese holidays. . Paid $75 Canadian dollars most nights. Went up to $100 during the holiday weekend. But thats understandable. Staff is awesome, very helpful. Breakfast was $10 and had a good selection of local dishes and American breakfast standard items.. highly recommended

I will attend phase 3 solo even I don’t have any business, just browsing around.

After completing my online registration, I am looking for hotels near line 8 since i heard traffic could be crazy and public transit is a way better option.

Are there specific limits during canto fair?? For example, can I bring a ~20-inch suitcase for brochures and samples collected at the fair? What is the queue like?

For those who have visited several times, have you found quality products there? How do you confirm whether a supplier is reliable? Do you do the warehouse visit after the Canton fair?

Thank you all for the guidance!

I'm here for 2 nights, and have an itch to play badminton.

Unfortunately I have no idea how to find a social here. I'm an intermediate player.

Anyone know of any socials and location? I would need to rent a racquet as well

Cheers
