Tips for visitors
If your business focuses on furniture or office goods, consider attending only the phase that interests you: they're two clearly distinct blocks within the same month.
Registration & entry
Professional visitor registration is free and done online on the official website with your passport; the organiser usually rewards early registration by overseas buyers (the 57th edition even included hotel nights).
Two phases with different profiles: Phase 1 — home furniture, homedecor & hometextile, and outdoor; Phase 2 — office, commercial and hotel spaces, plus machinery and materials alongside interzum guangzhou.
Visa: check the visa policy in force for your nationality before booking flights — short-stay exemptions cover many countries but conditions change frequently.
How to get there
Metro (the most reliable option at peak times): Line 8 — Xingangdong station for Area A and Pazhou station for Areas B and C.
From Baiyun Airport (CAN): 45–60 minutes by taxi or DiDi; by metro, Line 3 with a transfer to Line 8.
By high-speed rail: arrive at Guangzhou South and connect by metro (~40 min) or taxi.
From Hong Kong: high-speed rail to Guangzhou or, during fair dates, a direct ferry from Hong Kong International Airport to the Pazhou pier.
Where to stay near the fair
The only hotel with direct access to the exhibition halls. Consistently outstanding reviews from buyers; it sells out months before each phase.
A two-minute walk from the Area A entrance, with some of the area's best sustained ratings and a rooftop bar to wind down with fellow buyers.
Classic luxury with gardens and a pool, a free shuttle to the fair and restaurants recognised by the Michelin guide.
The best-rated mid-range option with direct connectivity to the fair complex; the value-for-money pick during fair dates.
During fair dates prices multiply and the good options vanish. On a tighter budget, look along metro Line 8 or in Zhujiang New Town — and if you book on Trip.com, our code TLSX3O helps us keep this directory free.

Getting around
Guangzhou's metro is extensive and goes straight to the Pazhou fair venue (Line 8, Pazhou station). Taxis are cheap but few drivers speak English: use DiDi with the address in Chinese.
In mainland China, Google, Gmail, WhatsApp and Instagram aren't accessible without a VPN arranged before you travel (it can't be installed once you've arrived). Hong Kong doesn't have this restriction.
