Are there tour guides and interpreters available during the Canton Fair?
A: Yes. Many licensed interpreters and trade assistants are available during the Canton Fair, especially around the fairgrounds and nearby hotels. You can:
- Hire through the official Canton Fair website or agencies (English, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, etc. available).
- Book freelance interpreters via platforms like LinkedIn, Upwork, or WeChat business groups.
- Daily rate is usually ¥600–1200 (USD $80–160) depending on language and experience.
⚠️ Tips for first-time visitors:
- Book early (interpreters are in high demand).
- Clarify whether you need a business interpreter (for negotiations) or just a tour guide (for sightseeing).
- Always confirm rates and working hours in advance.
