If you are here, you will know how enormous the Pazhou Fair Complex is. In my opinion, the architecture is stunning and remarkably functional for an exhibition center. I am sometimes here for business, but more times than not, I visit the Canton Fair just to see what new and exciting products are coming out of China.
The Canton Fair is a trade fair held in the spring and autumn seasons each year since the spring of 1957 in Guangzhou, China
Its full name since 2007 has been China Import and Export Fair (中国进出口商品交易会), renamed from Chinese Export Commodities Fair (中国出口商品交易会), also known as The Canton Fair (广州交易会).
The Canton Fair is co-hosted by the Ministry of Commerce, China and People's Government of the Guangdong Province, and organized by China Foreign Trade Centre.
The Canton Fair is the largest trade fair in China. Among China's largest trade fairs, it has the largest assortment of products, the largest attendance, and the largest number of business deals made at the fair. Like many trade fairs it has several traditions and functions as a comprehensive event of international importance.

Coming here will have you walking around, systematically, up and down aisles for hours until you start to go blind... or until you realize that you can't see everything in one day... or two days... or even three days. At some point you will be looking for a way to break up the monotony of booths.
This cache is located right between two of the largest halls and just out of view of a half dozen cameras if you stand on the other side of a nearby pillar.
Obviously the whole complex is full of muggles, so just pretend that you're talking on your phone and wandering around the cache zone while you look for this. It goes without saying that stealth must be observed.
