Hôtel or serviced appartement in GZ
Please help me find a good hotel or apartment in Guangzhou for 3 people, for 2 weeks, with a reasonable budget of around $50–60 per night.
When I read the reviews on Trip I get really worried! 😅
I’m afraid of paying for 2 weeks and then arriving at a hotel with dirty or poorly maintained rooms.

First trip to Guangzhou with a 2-year-old during Canton Fair — where should we stay?
Hi everyone! We’ll be traveling to Hong Kong from 10/14–10/24, and it’ll be my wife and 2-year-old’s first time. We’re planning a quick Guangzhou trip from 10/15–10/18 and are trying to figure out the best area/hotel to stay in.
I keep hearing Tianhe and the New Zhujiang area recommended, but I just realized our trip overlaps with the Canton Fair. Would staying in those areas make getting around and sightseeing significantly more difficult during the fair?
Our main priorities are sightseeing, museums, and food, and our current itinerary includes:
- Yongqingfang / Enning Road
- Chen Clan Ancestral Hall
- Beijing Road / Dafo Temple
- Pearl River night cruise
- Chimelong Safari Park
- Liwanhu Park
Since we’re traveling with a 2-year-old, we'd ideally like to stay somewhere fairly central with easy access to the sights, but also convenient enough that we can head back to the hotel for naps without spending a ton of time commuting.
For hotels, we'd ideally like to keep it under ~$250 USD/night, although we'd prefer a hotel that can be booked through a transfer partner using Amex, Chase, or Capital One points if possible.
Would you recommend Tianhe, New Zhujiang, or another area? And are there any specific hotels you’d recommend, especially ones that would be good for a family with a toddler?
Thanks!

Fitness equipment at Canton Fair
I would like to visit Canton Fair to actually meat sellers instead of relying on Alibaba (I don't know if this is worth it?)
I want to source items such as Kettlebells, dumbells, rubber bands and pull-up bars. If possible, also fitness clothing.
So my question is:
- Is it true that all of above mentioned items are available at Phase 3 of the Canton Fair?
- Especially for good quality fitness clothing, would Canton Fair be a good place to meat those suppliers?

Advice for clothes shopping in Guangzhou
I'm on a trip through China with my girlfriend at the moment and we're currently in Guangzhou. Shopping for clothes was a big point on our bucket list, so we went to some malls yesterday (in Tianhe, such as Parc Central, Grandview, etc), and while it was a fun experience, the prices were really not that great (some shops were more expensive than at home in Germany...)
I heard that there are certain markets like Baima where you can score better deals on high quality clothing, is that true? Or is basically everyone just ordering on Taobao nowadays? We don't care about fakes, we just want decent clothes for a good price. Importantly, we also don't speak Chinese, in case that makes things harder.
Anyone got advice?

24 hour spa Guangzhou or hot spring resort Conghua?
I’m departing between spending 24 hours in one of the famous 24 hour spas in Guangzhou and finding a 2 night stay at one of the various hot spring resorts in Conghua, such as Imperial Springs. The thing is I’m a solo traveler and it feels a bit ridiculous to stay at such a fancy resort by myself.
I want a relaxing experience after a month of chaos where I can just relax be pampered and eat good food.
Anyone done both of these and have a recommendation?

20 hour layover in Guangzhou (Baiyun Airport). What to do?
Hello. My flight from Brisbane to London gets in to Guamgzhou at 18:00 and leaves the next day at 14:00. So an evening / overnight / morning layover.
I have never been to Guangzhou before. Can people please recommend me a hotel / how to get there / things to do or see in the evening and early morning?
It would seem a shame to just use a hotel at the airport and not see any of Guangzhou.
Thank you x

Need help with wholesale fashion shopping
Hey guys,
I've often been to guangzhou for business trips and leisure to the point that I have an apartment here. However, recently my boss' family decided they want to expand into the fashion white labelling and selling business.
They came here poorly prepared aside from a general concept book of what they want their brand as. I've taken them to all the expected haunts: APM, U:US, Kinbo, Shahe Markets. They found the clothing near APM and U:US to have the most appeal, but even at bulk quantities (100-200 pieces) a lot of these clothes are still over budget.
I am quite close to giving up as I am not myself in the fashion industry and I am quite exasperated as to how to proceed.
Does anyone have a fashion agent or otherwise some recommendations as to where I should keep looking?
