Bauhinia hotel not bad, rating not bad, but room very small around 15m2.
Booked before zhuhai economic hotel, not bad executive room inside have a desktop. Stayed before grand continental, room clean, but their staff like some teenagers not professional. Booked one triple room for 68 sing dollars one night, checked in at 3am, having take tiger. Then they say no more room, so gave mi one suite and one superior room. No bath tub, but both have oven.

You can check out the HomeInns and 7 Days Inn networks in Guangzhou. They have several branches in the Yuexiu district.

Hey when wil you be reaching Guangzhou? I am goin there too from 9 april onwards, will be staying at Shanshui Trends Hotel directly above Guangzhou Dongzhan Metro Station.

However, you have to take Metro from here to 海珠广场 Station to reach Yuexiu District.

Wholesale garment/clothes in GZ usually only allow you to buy in bulk and not one or five pieces. Some shops would want to have your namecard too. Of cos there will be shops doing retail but if the operations hasn't changed much over the past few years, there aren't many shops doing that.

On a side note, I'll be in GZ next week till end of the month. Sourcing too. But for different products.

Wah so many GZ wholesale buyers here, wat products u sourcing? Some shops do sell individual items, not necessary buying in bulk, but u have to bargain by tellin the shopowners others are selling cheaper. A lot of shops selling the same item at the same stretch.
