Canton Fair 2013 is the 113th session of the China Import and Export Fair. The Canton Fair is China’s largest trade fair, a fair of the highest level. The Pazhou exhibition halls will be used alternately during the whole fair. According to AUMA’s statistical standards, the CECF as a biannual event now ranks the world’s No.3 in terms of scale.
The Canton Fair is held every year in Spring and Autumn sessions of three phases each with the first session taking place in April/May and the second in October/November. Each phase usually lasts five days and showcases different product types. It is not for nothing that the fair is known as China’s largest and, during the 206th fair, 188,170 overseas buyers spent 30,470 USD while inspecting products displayed in 55,927 standard booths set up by 21,934 national and 386 international exhibitors. Canton Fair has become an important platform and ties for boosting the international trade. It is renowned as the ‘China’s No.1 fair’. Let’s inherit the glorious history and create a better future together! Your visit will make the Canton Fair a better exhibition!
Although Guangzhou has an airport, the number of international flights is limited and most people visiting the Canton Fair arrive into Hong Kong instead. It’s simple to reach Guangzhou from Hong Kong with regular trains between the two cities taking just over two hours. There are also a limited number of flight connections between Hong Kong and Guangzhou. With just a handful of exceptions, the Canton Fair has been wholly moved to the Canton Fair Complex on Pazhou Island. It’s located just on the outskirts of the city center and can be reached by Metro Line 2 (blue), although most of the better hotels will run complimentary shuttle buses.
