June 7, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee

Guangdong (Chinese: 广东) is a province in South China, located on the South China Sea coast. Traditionally romanised as Kwangtung, Guangdong surpassed Henan and Sichuan to become the most populous province in China in January 2005, registering 79.1 million permanent residents and 31 million migrants who lived in the province for at least six months of the year; the total population was 104,303,132 in the 2010 census, accounting for 7.79 percent of Mainland China's population. This also makes it the most populous first-level administrative subdivision of any country outside the former British Raj, as its population is surpassed only by those of the Pakistani province of Punjab and the Indian states of Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. The provincial capital Guangzhou and economic hub Shenzhen are among the most populous and important cities in China. The population increase since the census has been modest, the province at 2015 had 108,500,000 people.

IFC (Guangzhou International Finance Centre)

Reviewed By jonascn - Singapore, Singapore

The area around the IFC looks futuristic. You will find tall skyscrapers surrounded by greenery and sci-fi concrete landmarks. The area is photo friendly and a great area to bring your friends and family to take photos and enjoy a good meal. The area is nicer at night with the great lighting. But the views during the day are photo scenic too.

Shenzhen Civic Center

Reviewed By retiredhaha - Oahu, United States

We could watch the evening light show from our 33rd floor room at Shangri-La Hotel Futian, but we decided to watch the Saturday Evening show from the Horizon lounge at 7pm. We had some wines and appetizers while watch the dazzling display of LED lights on a grand scale. Yes, indeed that China is prospering and we were in awed of the spectacular display of the lights. Although the display only lasted approximately little over ten minutes, but it left a long lasting impression for both of us.

With more 15 years China sourcing and business experiences i would like to share the above popular wholesale market. You can find many latest designs in the wholesale markets, they update the new samples frequently ,mostly they accept to change the sizes and colors. They never put the new designs on internet because they worried about the competitors to copy their new designs. If your order quantity is big,you should visit and order with factories. All the factories have minimum order quantity, but different factories have different policies. If you need any questions, you can feel free to contact me. My Phone No./Whatsapp: +91-9880844022
