Guided Foshan sourcing trip · from $150 a day
Fly into Guangzhou, spend two or three planned days in the world's largest furniture district, and go home with a priced order list instead of a pile of brochures. We plan the route before you land, drive you every day, and manage the order after you leave.
Guangzhou Baiyun Airport is about an hour from the Foshan showroom districts. We collect you at arrivals and your route is already planned.

A typical trip
Every itinerary is built around your list, budget and quality bar. This is the shape most whole-home buyers follow.
Send your floor plan, references, quantities, budget band and travel dates over WhatsApp or the project form. We shortlist showrooms and factories for each category, book appointments with the suppliers that matter, and send you a day-by-day plan with a hotel recommendation in Chancheng or Lecong.
Morning at a destination hall such as the Louvre International Furniture Exhibition Center to compare complete-room collections and price positioning. Afternoon in brand and factory-attached showrooms for the categories on your list: sofas, dining and stone tables, beds, cabinets. Your sourcing expert translates, asks the construction questions and records model numbers, materials, finish codes and first quotes.
Where custom sizes, upholstery, stone or volume matter, we drive to the factories and workshops behind the shortlist. You see frames, foam, stitching, finishing lines and packing, ask about capacity and real lead times, and confirm what can be customised. Complex custom or high-end export production is an hour east in Dongguan; we add that day when it earns its place.
Back to the two or three finalists per category with your notes. Fabric and finish selections are confirmed against samples, quotes are compared like for like (model, dimensions, materials, quantity, packing, lead time), and we negotiate on your behalf. Deposits go to suppliers' company accounts; every selection is written into one order list.
We stay on the ground and run the order like a local project team: orders confirmed with every supplier, production tracked with weekly photo updates, seven QC checkpoints with a photo and video report before you pay the balance, export packing to a written standard, consolidation into one container and delivery coordinated to your door.

What you can see
Foshan's districts each specialise: Lecong and Longjiang for furniture, Nanzhuang for tiles and stone, Luocun for lighting, Dali for metal and hardware.
Why guests book a local team
Foshan has more showroom floor than anyone can walk in a week. Two identical-looking sofas can differ three times in price, and the difference is inside the frame. The route is built around your priorities, not a fixed list of factories.
We know which suppliers to prioritise when construction, materials and finishing matter most, and we check the frame, not the fabric.
We compare suppliers like for like and find where you can save without compromising the pieces that matter.
We prioritise suppliers by real lead time and capacity we have seen, not by promises made at a trade fair.
We know which manufacturers actually handle project-based customisation well, and we run the drawings, samples and first-article approval.
From the road
Showroom walks, factory checks and inspections. No stock photography of people.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
What buyers usually ask before booking. Anything else, ask on WhatsApp or WeChat.
Die meisten Käufer, die ein ganzes Haus erwerben, planen zwei bis drei Tage ein. Ein Tag reicht für eine gezielte Suche aus; planen Sie einen Tag zusätzlich ein, wenn Ihnen maßgefertigte Möbelstücke oder Besichtigungen von Fabriken in Dongguan wichtig sind.
Nein. Die Tagespauschale deckt die Kosten für den Experten und die Anfahrt ab, und es besteht kein Verkaufsdruck. Die meisten Gäste entscheiden sich letztendlich für eine Bestellung, da die Preise angemessen sind, aber die Entscheidung liegt ganz bei Ihnen.
Guangzhou Baiyun (CAN) ist der nächstgelegene große Flughafen, etwa eine Stunde von den Ausstellungsvierteln entfernt; die Abholung ist im Preis inbegriffen. Die Abholung von Shenzhen oder Hongkong erfordert einen längeren Transfer, den wir gegen Aufpreis im Voraus organisieren und bestätigen.
Bürger vieler Länder können derzeit für kurze Geschäftsreisen visumfrei nach Festlandchina einreisen, für andere gilt in Guangzhou eine 240-stündige visumfreie Transitregelung. Die Bestimmungen ändern sich und hängen von Ihrem Reisepass ab. Informieren Sie sich daher vor der Buchung Ihrer Flüge beim nächstgelegenen chinesischen Konsulat über die aktuellen Bestimmungen.
Chancheng (Stadtzentrum von Foshan) oder Lecong liegen meist nur eine 30-minütige Autofahrt von den Ausstellungsräumen entfernt. Wir empfehlen Ihnen Hotels, die Ihrem Budget entsprechen, und helfen Ihnen bei der Buchung; Sie bezahlen direkt beim Hotel.
Yes. Consolidation, export packing, sea freight and destination delivery are our core service, with a photo and video QC report before you pay the balance. See Quality & Shipping.
Most of our projects run fully remote with photos, videos and samples. The trip is optional; the sourcing service is the same. See how sourcing works.
We reply within one business day with a proposed route, a hotel recommendation and an honest read on what your budget buys here.
