Combining the Canton Fair With a Yiwu Market Trip
Many buyers attend Canton Fair in Guangzhou and extend their trip to Yiwu Market — here's how the two complement each other.
By Air
About 1 hr 40 min flight time, with several daily departures between Guangzhou (CAN) and Yiwu (YIW).
Usually the faster option when your schedule is tight around fair dates.
By High-Speed Rail
About 6–7 hours total journey time.
A reasonable option if you'd rather see the countryside or avoid airport transfers.
Flight/train schedules change often — we recommend confirming exact times closer to your travel date.
Why Combine Both
Canton Fair connects you with large manufacturers and OEM-capable factories, built for bulk orders.
Yiwu Market fills the gaps — small commodities, low MOQs, and the ability to mix many categories into a single consolidated shipment.
Suggested Flow
1. Attend Canton Fair sessions in Guangzhou for factory-direct, higher-volume items.
2. Fly or take the train to Yiwu for the remaining line items, accessories and smaller-run products.
3. Consolidate everything into one shipment from our warehouse in Yiwu.
