Where is the Canton Fair Held in October 2026?

The 140th Autumn Canton Fair in October 2026 will be held at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou, commonly known by overseas buyers as the Canton Fair Complex. The official address is No. 382, Yuejiang Zhong Road, Haizhu District, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, located in the Pazhou exhibition area of Guangzhou. First-time overseas buyers should confirm the official venue name, exhibition zones, and supplier booth numbers before departure, rather than relying solely on vague search terms like "Guangzhou Exhibition Center" for navigation.

What is the Official Name of the Canton Fair Venue?

The official venue for the Canton Fair is the "China Import and Export Fair Complex," also frequently abbreviated as the Canton Fair Complex.

When these names appear in hotel bookings, map navigation, and business itineraries, they refer to the main Canton Fair venue. You can save the following address:

• Chinese: 中国广东省广州市海珠区阅江中路382号
• English: No. 382, Yuejiang Zhong Road, Guangzhou

Is the Canton Fair Venue Located in Pazhou?

Yes. The Canton Fair Complex is located in the Pazhou exhibition area of Haizhu District, Guangzhou, which is why suppliers, drivers, and hotels often refer to it as the "Pazhou Canton Fair Complex." "Pazhou" is a regional name, not a separate session of the Canton Fair or a different city.

Guangzhou has other conference centers and exhibition halls, so searching only for "Guangzhou Exhibition Center" or "International Exhibition Center" may lead to incorrect results. Use Canton Fair Complex or the complete address for navigation, and cross-check it with the official current session materials.

Why Confirm Exhibition Zones and Booths in Advance?

The Canton Fair venue is massive. Even if you arrive at the correct address, not having zone and booth information can cause you to spend a lot of time looking for suppliers. Before attending, save at least the following details:

• Supplier company name
• Applicable exhibition phase
• Exhibition zone or hall area
• Booth number
• On-site contact person and mobile phone number

When visiting multiple suppliers in a single day, you can arrange your visiting sequence based on zone locations to minimize walking back and forth between different areas.

If a Supplier Says "See You at the Canton Fair," Should I Still Ask for the Booth Number?

Yes. Knowing only the supplier's name does not guarantee a quick meeting on-site. Before the exhibition begins, reconfirm whether the supplier is officially exhibiting, which phase they are attending, their booth number, their on-site contact, and whether you need to book samples in advance.

If a supplier cannot provide a clear booth number, they may only be planning to meet in Guangzhou during the exhibition period, which does not mean they have an official Canton Fair booth. Buyers should distinguish between "official exhibitors" and "suppliers visiting Guangzhou during the exhibition."

Will the Address Change Across the Three Phases?

No. All three phases of the 140th Canton Fair will be held at the China Import and Export Fair Complex. What changes across each phase are the product categories, participating enterprises, and specific zone arrangements, not the main venue address.

Buyers attending multiple phases do not need to look for three different addresses, but they should recheck the target product zones and supplier booth numbers for each respective phase.

What Information Is Best to Save Before Departure?

Save the complete address, official venue name, supplier booth information, and contact persons simultaneously on your mobile phone. Multi-person procurement teams can also share a single supplier list marked with company names, booth numbers, products, and responsible personnel to make post-exhibition consolidation easier after touring separately.
