Is this trade fair worth visiting?
✓ Yes
Yes, especially if you source Food & Beverages, Consumer & Home Goods, Industrial Machinery, want to compare samples in person or negotiate with several manufacturers in a few days.
— Not necessarily
Probably not if your product belongs to a different sector than Food & Beverages, Consumer & Home Goods, Industrial Machinery, you already have verified suppliers and only need repeat orders, or the potential volume does not justify the trip.
Tips for visitors
Unlike most fairs in the directory, the focus is not only on sourcing in China. It is a useful platform for comparing Chinese suppliers with suppliers from Southeast Asia in one trip and identifying China-ASEAN trade opportunities.

Getting around
Nanning Wuxu International Airport (NNG) is 30-35 km from downtown (40-50 min by car) and has flights to over 40 Chinese cities plus international routes to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh, Yangon, Vientiane and Seoul — very handy if your trip combines China with Southeast Asia. There are shuttle buses to downtown (~20 CNY) or taxis (~100 CNY). The city has two train stations (Nanning and Nanning East, the latter high-speed) and a 4-line metro: Line 1 directly connects the high-speed station, downtown and the China-ASEAN Expo venue itself.
On local networks in mainland China, some international services may be restricted or unavailable. If you rely on them for work, prepare a connectivity solution that complies with current rules before travelling and do not depend on a single app. Hong Kong operates under a different internet regime.
