Where should I stay during the Canton Fair: Pazhou, Zhujiang New Town or Panyu?

Quick Answer

Book near a metro line that reaches the fairground. Pazhou is closest to the venue (walkable or one stop), Zhujiang New Town offers business hotels with a direct Line 8 connection and city nightlife, and Panyu suits lower budgets with a longer commute. Prices surge during fair weeks, so book early.

  • Pazhou: closest to the halls — best for exhibitors and tight schedules.
  • Zhujiang New Town: business hotels plus easy Line 8 access to the fair and evening options downtown.
  • Panyu: more affordable and quiet, with a longer daily metro ride.
  • Fair-week hotel guide by district.
