Known as “China’s No. 1 Trade Fair”, the Canton Fair officially kicked off.  

The 138th Canton Fair will run in three phases from October 15 to November 4 in Guangzhou, with record-high numbers of booths and exhibitors.  

Notably, the Canton Fair’s “friends circle” keeps growing: more than 240,000 buyers from 218 countries and regions have registered.  

On site, international visitors from Canada, Peru, the Philippines and beyond told SFC journalists their first-hand impressions of the Canton Fair.
