Canton Fair Complex Transfers

A towering port city on the northwest side of Hong Kong, Guangzhou is known for its many tendril-like canals created by the central Zhujiang River, all lined with urban parks that collectively paint the perfect backdrop for business at the city’s Canton Fair Complex. Often cited as the world’s largest exhibition center, the constantly expanding facility gets its name from the world famous Canton Fair. Various shops are offered along the attached four-level shopping mall, while the event venue itself is home to an array of modern exhibition halls paired with quaint meeting rooms customizable for any sized event. Down the street from the buzzy Pazhou Subway Station, guests can also traverse the area region through a hypermodern train system, whether it’s toward the South Terminal of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport or the northern forests just a couple miles from the last-stop Changban Subway Station. See town with ease by hopping aboard one of many private rides instead, looking forward to the easygoing nature of sedans, vans or SUVs for the freedom to drive wherever, or enjoying the convenience of meet-and-greet services like taxis ideal for simple drop offs or local personal drivers who each turn well.

Get to know the day with a fervor that matches the city’s hustle, starting with the right hotel to hang out in, popular options including the beautiful Shangri-La Hotel’s dramatic riverside views paired with a swanky health club and rooftop plazas adorned with tennis courts and pools, a solid runner-up including the slightly further Intercontinental Guangzhou Exhibition Center’s riverfront opulence fit for a king. Those planning long-term stays should consider modest but striking spaces at Poly World Trading Center Apartments, or Langham Place’s especially opulent lookouts along the water’s edge. Have fun by exploring the wide variety of getaways close to the hotel as well, whether it be an array of waterfront park trails at the Yingzhou Ecological Park or a longer stroll across the floating isle of attractions within the Zhujiang River, including the famous Guangdong Science Center and the Guangdong Chinese Medicine Museum. Various campus grounds and university libraries also sprinkle the tranquil island, the city’s best restaurants including the Westin’s beloved HongMian Chinese Restaurant as well as modern French-euro fusion from Le Sainte Maxime.
