Is this trade fair worth visiting?
✓ Yes
Yes, especially if you source Electronics & Appliances, Lighting, 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 Electronics & Appliances, Lighting, you already have verified suppliers and only need repeat orders, or the potential volume does not justify the trip.
Tips for visitors
Do not confuse it with Guzhen: GILE is a separate event in Guangzhou. For professional sourcing, bring photometric requirements, driver specifications, dimming, lifetime, materials, certification and safety-test requirements.

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.
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.
