The Guangzhou International Toys and Gifts Center located in Guangzhou's Huangpu district is going to open soon. The Huangpu government yesterday (June 8th) set up a booth to provide consultation and transaction services for shopkeepers there.

The center, costing 1.5 billion yuan to build, is ready for shopkeepers to move in. According to Huang Hongtian from the Huangpu economic & trade bureau, the Huangpu government will provide easier procedures for shops moving in, as some shops are oversea companies. To date, over 550 booths have been sold.

Made-in-Guangdong toys account for 70% of the national market. Of China's 8000 toy manufacturers, 4500 are in Guangdong. Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Chenghai and Foshan are key toy production areas, with  the production volume accounting for over 50% of the world's total volume.
