GUANGZHOU, China, July 13 --

With the 106th Canton Fair fast approaching and our customers busy planning on
how to sell their products over the holiday season, the China Foreign Trade
Centre is working to make the planning of their trip to Guangzhou to buy
supplies as quick and easy as possible. To better serve buyers and sellers who
operate in multiple categories of goods, the organizer of Canton Fair announced
that the gaps between exhibition times have been shortened to 3 days.

The new schedule for the Canton Fair is as follows:

Phase 1: October 15-19

Electronics Household Electrical Appliances, Hardware Tools, Machinery and
Spare Parts, Building Materials, Lighting Equipment, Chemical Products,
International Pavilion

Phase 2: October 23-27

For a full list of products and more information, please refer to our website
at http://www.cantonfair.org.cn/en .

For those who will attend for more than one phase, there’s a wide range
of entertainment options in the area to keep upbeat visitors fully engaged, all
of which can be accessed on our website. There is a local golf club for a round
of green opium as the Chinese call it, spa options off the Pearl River, or
visitors can simply find the best fitness clubs in the area. Our website also
contains information on booking trips ranging from one day tours around the
city, to three day tours farther afield. And for those looking for real
relaxation, such as trips to the beautiful Sanya, a beach town on nearby Hainan
Island, they can make the arrangements online easily through our web site.

At the Canton Fair, we help our attendants all along the way to make their
visit as easy as possible, including assistance with visa registration, help
setting up meetings beforehand, finding accommodation and even entertainment.
Business travel can be a chore, but we are always trying to find new ways to
make your visit to China easy and enjoyable, while letting you get back home to
your loved ones as soon as possible.
