Why people fly Lahore to Guangzhou
Guangzhou's markets cover textiles, fabrics, accessories, electronics and household goods, and its trade fairs bring suppliers together in one place. Lahore's merchants, manufacturers and retailers travel here to source products and strike partnerships. Students find a welcoming international community, and families enjoy the city's parks, riverside walks and Cantonese cooking. Halal restaurants are easy to find in districts with international communities, which makes day-to-day life comfortable for Pakistani visitors.
Best time to travel
October to December offers warm, dry, clear days that are ideal for sightseeing and market visits. The Canton Fair runs in spring and autumn, which are busy and exciting times for business travellers, so book flights and hotels early. Spring is green and mild, summer is tropical with refreshing rain, and winter is gentle. Lahore travellers will find Guangzhou's climate warm and humid compared with Punjab's dry winters.
