Question
Hi, I'm visiting china for the Canton Fair this October. I want t know where i MUST GO in China during my one week visit. What is your advice? what I shouldn't miss there ??!!
Thank you so much

Answer
Hello Hamid.

I am not sure how long you plan on spending at the Canton Fair. That will determine how much you can see during your brief 1 week stay.

Guangzhou is not terribly interesting itself, as it is primamrily an industrial and manufacturing city.

Close by is Hong Kong.  You can take a 2 1/2 train ride there and explore one of the most exciting cities on Earth.  Victoria Peak, Stanley Market, The Star Ferry, Kowloon, Great Food, Great Shopping.  Hong Kong is the place to be.

If you can tell me where you are flying in and out of and how long you will be atthe fair I can help you further.
