It depends on your product: Baima or Shisanhang for women's fashion, Shahe for budget apparel, Guihuagang for leather goods and bags, Xingfa for beauty, Zhongda for fabrics. See our market directory for all 15 markets with buyer tips.
What is the Guangzhou International Commercial Port? +
A 9.86 km² trade megaproject in Huadu District, next to Baiyun Airport, that broke ground on October 8, 2026. Total planned construction is about 14.5 million m² and the commercial core (¥32.5B investment) is planned to open in 2028. Read our full project hub for details.
Can I source from Guangzhou without visiting? +
