Reporter's Note: How attractive is the Canton Fair to foreigners?Sacrificing lunchtime for a closer look

At 8:30 in the morning, the Pazhou International Convention & Exhibition Center in Guangzhou was already bustling with excitement. Exhibitors and buyers from around the world couldn't wait to enter. As soon as I met Danilo, he expressed his excitement, saying, "There are even more people here than I imagined. I hope to enter the main hall soon and have a good look around."

Upon entering the exhibition hall, Danilo enthusiastically raised his phone to capture the Yingge dance performance on the central stage.

Inside the exhibition hall, Danilo's eyes were filled with curiosity. He carefully inspected products at various booths, interacted with staff, and occasionally took photos with his phone. Because he had to return to school in the afternoon, Danilo was willing to sacrifice his lunchtime to spend more time at the Canton Fair.

While exploring the exhibition hall, Danilo spotted a brand of electric shaver he uses (Kemei). He approached the exhibitor and was informed that their shavers sell well in Brazil, with listings on major e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, AliExpress, TikTok Shop, and Temu. Regarding the quality of the shaver, Danilo told reporters that he bought it in Brazil and brought it to China, using it daily, and was surprised to find its "homeland" represented at the Canton Fair, which made him feel particularly nostalgic. Not only the shaver but also the headphones Danilo purchased in Brazil were of Chinese brands.

When parting ways, I asked Danilo, "Did you not get enough today?" Danilo replied, "The Canton Fair is too large in scale. Today, we only explored a small part of it. If I have time in a few days, I'll probably visit it again on my own!"
