Experienced and knowledgeable private guide
Mark is a knowledgeable private guide with good English skills. He always had a story or tips to share at each location we visited. Also he and Mr Joe the driver were very flexible. We were there leading up to a military parade and so some locations were restricted around Tiananmen Square and so they worked late to help us navigate the situation and accomplish our goal to see the square. more

Suggested Itinerary
Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests and schedule.
Welcome to Guangzhou! Once you arrive, your tour guide will meet you at the airport or train station. A private car and driver will then take you directly to explore the city.
Visit the Thirteen Hongs Museum to explore Guangzhou's historical role as the "Emperor's Southern Treasury" and trace the evolution of its centuries-old foreign trade routes.
Explore Chen Clan Academy to appreciate its beautiful Lingnan architecture and understand how early clans used their collective power to unite, support local industries, and invest in their communities.
Post-tour Review: This discussion will cover why Guangzhou has been a commercial city for a thousand years and will also examine the role and significance of family connections in Chinese business.
Dive into the Zhongda Textile District to learn the entire process—from fabric trading and order matching to flexible employment and rapid production—in the world's largest fabric market and its dynamic garment industry ecosystem.
Witness the fast "cloth-to-clothing" production process in a garment factory. This visit will demonstrate how China's manufacturing industry uses high-density clustering and decentralized collaboration to quickly respond to market demands.
Analyze the market dynamics and business logic of the "affordable fast fashion" industry at the Baima Wholesale Market—famous for its vast, rapidly updated styles—and gain insight into how products transition from design to trend.
Post-tour Review: Building on today's findings, we will formulate a strategy to effectively balance price, delivery time, quality, and risk for a simulated order of 10,000 basic white T-shirts.
Head to Foshan's furniture factories with your tour guide to study the custom furniture industry's landscape, competition, barriers to entry, and other essential market details.
Explore the Louvre International Furniture Exhibition Center to observe how showrooms use space, storytelling, and price tiers to attract global clients, and to understand the 'channel premium' logic.
Deep dive into 3 Factory-direct Showrooms to learn everything from raw materials to finished products and from cost structures to delivery cycles. This will allow us to directly witness the furniture industry's real profit margins.
Post-tour Review: We will sit down and analyze the factors influencing the difference in markup strategies between brand showrooms and factories for similar products.
Ascend the Canton Tower to its 108th-floor Star Observation Deck. From there, you can enjoy panoramic CBD views and consider how Guangzhou leverages its city image to build international brand value.
