Where can I pick up my Canton Fair entry badge?
Afer your online registration, you can pick up your entry badge directly at the Canton Fair, but also at 32 hotels across Guangzhou (Canton). Those hotels are recommended by the Fair and work with the organizer. Staying in one of these hotels is beneficial since there are close to the fair but also because they offer free Shuttle Buses to the whole Pazhou Complex.
We present the whole list of Hotels at the Canton Fair, where you will pick up your entry badge:
5 Star Hotels *****
4 Star Hotels ****
So this is the online registration for the fair. We recommend doing it now and not waiting until the last moment. After the Canton Fair, we also advise you to check companies from the Canton Fair. Unfortunately, there are more and more scammers at the Canton Fair, and it’s very risky to send money to a company we have not checked (we verify the bank accounts too).
More information about the Canton Fair and other fairs in China is available on our Trade Fair Website, China-TradeFair.com
