Visiting the Canton Fair gives international buyers a unique opportunity to:

• Discover new suppliers and product trends
• Compare prices, materials, and production capabilities in person
• Combine fair visits with factory tours in nearby cities like Foshan, Zhongshan, and Shunde

But while the fair is rich in opportunity, it can also be overwhelming — especially for first-time visitors navigating language barriers, logistics, and product vetting.
