Great Wall of China + Tiananmen Square

Full day cultural visit. Morning at the Great Wall of China — one of the most memorable experiences of the entire trip. Afternoon at Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City area. Group dinner in the evening.

This day is deliberate — it gives delegates time to adjust to China, bond as a group, and arrive at the Canton Fair fresh rather than jet-lagged.

Additional cities on this trip

Beyond the main itinerary, this delegation includes Shenzhen as an included day trip and Keqiao as an optional add-on city.

Included · Day Trip

🏙️ Shenzhen

Shenzhen is the electronics and technology manufacturing hub of China, one hour from Guangzhou by high-speed rail. On the allocated Shenzhen day, the group departs Guangzhou in the morning, visits Huaqiangbei Electronics Market — the world's largest electronics components market — and returns to the Guangzhou hotel the same evening.

This is a full included day within the trip. Ideal for delegates in electronics, tech accessories, LED products, components, or any product with electronic parts. Date is fixed during the programme and confirmed with all delegates before departure.

Optional Add-On

🧵 Keqiao — China Textile City

Keqiao is a district near Shaoxing in Zhejiang province, home to China Textile City — the world's largest textile and fabric wholesale market. If your business involves fabric, garments, home textiles, curtains, or any textile-based product, Keqiao gives you access to pricing and variety unavailable anywhere else.

Keqiao is located near Yiwu and can be added as an extra day during the Yiwu portion of the trip. Additional cost applies. Confirm interest when booking — minimum group size required to run the Keqiao add-on.

What ChinaChallo does for you throughout the trip

This is not a tour group. Every service below is provided specifically to help you do better business — before, during, and after the Fair.

🔍

Pre-Trip Supplier Research

Before you land, we research Canton Fair exhibitors and market vendors matched to your specific product category. You walk in with a curated shortlist — not a 1.5 million sqm maze.

🗣️

Live Translation & Negotiation

Our bilingual team translates in real time during every supplier meeting. More than words — we help you negotiate price, MOQ, payment terms, and production lead times in Chinese.

📋

Business Interaction Guide

We brief every delegate on how to read a Chinese supplier, what questions to ask, what the answers really mean, and how to build a relationship that gives you better terms on repeat orders.

🏭

Factory Visits & Vetting

We arrange visits to pre-vetted manufacturers in the Pearl River Delta. You meet the actual factory — not a trading company — and see production with your own eyes before placing an order.

🪪

Visa + Canton Fair Badge

Your group L visa is processed by us — you submit documents, we handle the rest. Canton Fair buyer badge registration is included. You do not need to arrange either of these yourself.

🛎️

Full Ground Logistics

Hotels, airport transfers, all intercity bullet trains, and daily transport to and from the Fair, factory visits, and market days — fully coordinated. Halal Pakistani food arranged throughout the trip so you never have to worry about what to eat on the ground.

Who this trip is for

📦

Importers & Wholesalers

You import goods from China or want to start. You need verified suppliers, real factory prices, and someone who can negotiate in Chinese. This trip is built around you.

🛒

E-commerce Sellers

You sell on Daraz, Amazon, or local platforms and want to cut the middleman. Meeting manufacturers directly means better margins and products no one else in your market has yet.

🏪

Retailers & Shop Owners

You currently buy from local distributors at inflated prices. One trip to China lets you buy direct at factory price. The margin difference on a single container pays for many more trips.

🆕

First-Time China Travellers

You have never been to China before and the process feels overwhelming. The delegation is designed for exactly this situation — our team is with you from departure to return.

What Spring 2026 delegates said

★★★★★
"I had never left Pakistan before. The team handled everything — visa, hotels, translation with every supplier. I came back with 4 confirmed manufacturers and prices 30% below what I was paying locally."
Importer, Lahore · Spring 2026 Delegate
★★★★★
"The pre-trip supplier research was what made the difference. We didn't waste time walking around — we went straight to the right booths. The negotiation support got us pricing we couldn't have gotten on our own."
E-commerce seller, Islamabad · Spring 2026 Delegate

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have imported from China before?

No. A large portion of every delegation is first-time importers. The bilingual team, pre-trip supplier research, and business guide are specifically designed to make the Canton Fair accessible to people doing this for the first time. Experienced importers also attend and benefit from the peer network.

Which phase matches my products?

Phase 1 covers electronics, machinery, hardware, auto parts, new energy, and home appliances. Phase 2 covers consumer goods, gifts, toys, home décor, furniture, and ceramics. If your products are primarily garments or textiles, Phase 3 or the Keqiao add-on is more relevant. WhatsApp us your product and we will confirm in 2 minutes.

What exactly does the supplier research include?

Before departure, our team researches Canton Fair exhibitors and market vendors specific to your product category. You receive a shortlist with hall numbers, booth numbers, product range, and notes on each supplier — prepared specifically for what you import, not a generic list.

What is included in the Shenzhen day trip?

The Shenzhen day trip is a group day trip from Guangzhou — the group departs in the morning, visits Huaqiangbei Electronics Market (and surrounding electronics hubs), and returns to the Guangzhou hotel the same evening. Transportation and the team's guidance are included. It is part of the standard trip, not an extra cost.

What is Keqiao and who should add it?

Keqiao is the world's largest textile and fabric wholesale market, located near Yiwu. It is a full add-on day for delegates whose products involve fabric, garments, home textiles, curtains, or any textile-based goods. It sits near Yiwu and can be added during the Yiwu leg of the trip at an additional cost. Minimum group interest required — confirm when booking.

Do I need to go to the visa centre myself?

In most cases, no. Our team handles the group L visa submission on your behalf. You provide your documents to our collection point and we return your passport with the visa stamped. The visa centre is handled by us. First-time applicants may occasionally be asked for an in-person biometric appointment — our team will inform you if this applies.

Can I make independent meetings outside the group programme?

Yes. The group programme runs during Fair hours and structured visits. Evenings and gap time are yours to use freely. Our team can also help arrange additional supplier introductions beyond the planned programme if you identify someone at the Fair you want to follow up with.

What should I prepare before I travel?

Install WeChat (WhatsApp is blocked in China) and set it up before leaving Pakistan. Install a VPN and test it — Google, Instagram, and most Western apps are inaccessible without one. Bring business cards in English. Download Google Translate offline Chinese pack. Our pre-departure briefing covers this in full one week before departure.

12 days. Your suppliers. Your prices. Your first China trip done right.

Seats are confirmed in order of deposits received. If you are ready — or close to ready — the right move is to message us now and hold your place before the group fills.
