Canton Fair 2026 · 15 Oct – 4 Nov
Visit Our Dongguan Clothing Factory During the Canton Fair
Our clothing factory is in Humen, Dongguan: 17 minutes by high-speed train from Guangzhou South, then about 20 minutes by car from Humen Station. Visits run on weekdays from 9:00 to 17:00 with an English-speaking colleague, you can photograph the workshop, and showroom samples are yours to inspect. Book at least three days ahead.
Why visit us while you are in Guangzhou
- See the fabric, not a catalogue photo. Knits, fleece, French terry and blends on the shelf — ask for the GSM, the composition and the hand-feel you actually need.
- Watch your product being made. Cut-and-sew lines running for other buyers’ orders; printing, embroidery and washing are handled by audited partner workshops.
- Settle the details in person. Construction, MOQ, sampling time and lead time, discussed with the person who will actually run your order.
The venue is the Canton Fair Complex in Pazhou, Guangzhou — the China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair).
How to get here
Metro to Guangzhou South, high-speed train to Humen, then a 20-minute DiDi. Allow about two hours fifteen minutes door to door from the fair.
Step 1 — Canton Fair Complex to Guangzhou South (about 55 minutes)
Take Metro Line 8 from Pazhou (Areas B and C) or Xingangdong (Area A), change to Line 2 at Changgang, and get off at Guangzhou South Railway Station. The fare is under ¥10 and contactless Visa or Mastercard works at the gates. The official Guangzhou Metro network map (PDF) shows both lines.
Step 2 — Guangzhou South to Humen (17 to 25 minutes)
Most G trains towards Shenzhen or Hong Kong stop at Humen, and a second-class seat costs about ¥34.5 — check the stop list when you book on 12306 (English) or Trip.com. Bring your passport: it is your ticket, and you will need it at the ID check, so arrive 30 minutes early.
Humen Station is on the Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong line. Humen North is a different station on the intercity line, so check your ticket before you leave.
Step 3 — Humen Station to our factory (about 20 minutes)
Order a DiDi to “Shunxing Business Building, 313 Taibao Road, Humen” — we are on Floor 3. Inside the station, follow the signs to the ride-hailing pickup area on level B1 of the south square — taxis queue on level 1 at the north square, and that is the step visitors most often get wrong. Send us your train number and we will send a live location pin on WhatsApp.
Tip: download the DiDi app and sign up for a new account, instead of booking DiDi inside Alipay. New DiDi accounts usually get first-ride discounts, so the trip costs less.
At a glance
The route, step by step
Times and fares are one way and per person, checked for the 140th session (October 2026). The variable is traffic on the Pazhou approach: add 30 minutes on the first two days of each phase.
What a visit looks like
- 0–15 minutes — Showroom introduction. Tell us what you are sourcing and for which market.
- 15–45 minutes — Fabrics and samples. GSM, composition, hand-feel and construction, on finished garments.
- 45–75 minutes — Workshop floor. Cutting, sewing, finishing and quality control. Photos and video are welcome.
- 75–90 minutes — Pricing and next steps. Sample plan, MOQ and timeline, with the person who will run your order.
The visit takes about 90 minutes. We see visitors on weekdays between 9:00 and 17:00 only, and we ask for at least three days’ notice so an English-speaking colleague is on site.
Before you come
- Passport. Needed for the train ticket, and for visitor registration when you arrive.
- Shoes. The workshop floor is a working floor — closed shoes are more comfortable than sandals.
- Time. Half a day door to door from Guangzhou. Trains run into the evening; check the last departure back when you book.
- Payment. DiDi takes Visa and Mastercard for Express rides, and the metro gates take contactless cards. Keep some cash for the odd taxi that does not.
