🗓 Plan the trip: when to come
Two full days is enough for most buyers if you know which markets to skip.
- New stock arrives in March–April and September–October; January is clearance season.
- During Canton Fair (April and October) hotels double in price — book three weeks ahead.
- Chinese New Year (late January / February) closes the markets for one to two weeks.
- Fly into Guangzhou Baiyun Airport; stay near Guangzhou Railway Station or Beijing Road.
- Bring a spare phone with WeChat installed, a power bank and a folding hand cart.
