Three more months until the Canton Fair in China.

Who is going?
What phase?
What hotel?

Anyone like to meet up? If so, let's coordinate. This will be my first time going. I am a mandarin speaker and can help us get around.

Round trip airfare from NY is only $600!

I have to visit one of the manufactures in Shenzhen. Canton Fair is in Guangzhou.

I would like to stay in Hong Kong. Anyone know if traveling from Hong Kong to Guangzhou or Shenzhen is far? Difficult? Expensive?

It's not too bad. Here's the schedule and pricing (KTT has nicer seats in 1st class and "wifi" but didn't work when I went a few months back): http://www.it3.mtr.com.hk/B2C/frmScheduleGuangdong.asp?strLang=Eng

If you are planning on going to the fair daily, though, I would not stay in HK the whole time. Best to stay locally at a hotel or hostel if you're budget conscious.

Enjoy - reach out to me if you have any questions on the experience, etc.

I might be going over to the Hong Kong electronics fair in mid October. Not sure yet but I will post a thread if I decide to go so we could have a meet up over there for dinner and drinks again.

I live and work in Hong Kong, and I also have a company in Shenzhen. To go to Shenzhen the easiest way is to take the MTR to the boarder and cross from there. It takes around 2 hours, more or less depending of where you are leaving from in Hong Kong. Another option is to take a bus but I am not too familiar with that option.

To go to Guangzhou you can take the train which will take you about three hours if my memory serves me right. If you are going to Guangzhou from Shenzhen, you can take the high speed train from Shenzhen North Station to Guangzhou South Station which takes 40mn to arrive.

Good luck with the trip!

I'll be attending phase 2 for 3 days. It probably does not make sense to stay in Hong Kong then. I ended up booking the Phoenix city hotel in Guangzhou for the 3 days.

I went in April - not going in October. The show isn't what it used to be. At least in my category (home decor)

I used to take a train from Hong Kong to Guangzhou...took about 2-2.5 hours which includes crossing the border. Shenzhen would cut a lot of time off since you're already in China. In April I took a car from HK to Guangzhou - still 2.5 to 3 hours. If it means anything to you I always preferred to stay in HK and suck up the travel time...

It would be nice to live in HK through out the whole trip but I'm on a budget. HK hotel is more expensive, the transportation to Guangzhou can also be expensive if I need to commute 2 or 3 days. I will go to HK on the last 2 days of my trip.

Just booked my flight to HK the week before to get a VISA. Will probably arrive during the 24th-25th weekend.

Anyone else going?
