The Trax2 GuangZhou MARKETS (Wholesale) Guide
The GuangZhou markets are by far the most colorful (and some say the best) in China.
Where you can find just about anything you can imagine at wholesale prices and less.
Most of the souvenirs found in many tourist shops around the country can be found at one of these markets for a fraction of the cost, GuangZhou is actually the last place you want to visit if you are coming to China, for that "End of the Trip" shopping spree.
The GuangZhou markets are so organized that vast areas are lay-out just for markets and one of the biggest stretches west from Hai Zhu Guang Chang (Square) [Gf8] past Sha Mian Island [Gc9], where you can find everything from toys, furnishings, stationery, shoes, latest fashion apparels, electronics, mobiles (cell phones), computer accessories, digital cameras and even dried foods, Traditional Medicine, pets and lots, lots more...
