I was born and raised in this city and new become a china wholesale furniture suppliers, hoping to offer you some useful guidance.
1.How to Get There
"Coming to China for procurement" may sound distant, but it is actually very convenient and quick! Your flight should land at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport (CAN). The easiest way to get to the Shunde Lecong International Furniture City China from the airport is to take the direct airport shuttle bus:
- From the airport to the furniture city:
Ticket counters at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport are located near self-service ticket machines by Gate A4 and A10 in Terminal 1, and at ticket counters inside Gates B5 and B12; there are also ticket counters at the West Passenger Station in Terminal 2. Customer service hotline: +86-020-36063156.
- From the furniture market to the airport:
The ticket counter is located in the lobby on the first floor of the louvre furniture mall China (North Entrance 1), where you can check in your luggage in advance. Customer service hotline: +86-0757-82307023/+86-18022203078.
Note: After the shuttle bus operating hours, you can choose to take a taxi, which costs about 200 RMB.
2.Characteristics of Major Markets
To help you accurately find the furniture you need, it's important to understand the structure of this vast Shunde furniture market. I have made an easy-to-understand map to help you navigate better, Download the Clear Map, Catalogs and Price List PDF. Most of the merchants in the market are tenants of several major groups, including louvre furniture mall China, Foshan international furniture expo mall, Empire, Sunlink furniture wholesale market, Dongheng mall, and Nanhua mall. Below are the positioning and characteristics of each group:
①Pink Line Area: Louvre International Furniture Exhibition Center:
This is a high-end mall and the center of the entire International Furniture City. If you arrive by airport shuttle, the Louvre will be your first stop. It is even a national-level scenic spot, with the enormous indoor European square on the fifth floor of Area C being breathtaking. The merchants in the Louvre mainly deal in high-end brands, including both domestic high-end brands and some internationally renowned luxury brands, attracting consumers who seek personalization and luxury. Due to the high prices, it is advisable to decide whether to shop here after exploring other areas.
②Blue Line Area: Sunlink Furniture City (North), Foshan international furniture expo mall:
These two malls offer products at prices ranging from economical to mid-high range, suitable for different consumer budgets. However, I still recommend making a decision after exploring other areas, as there may be more favorable options available.
③Green Line Area: Shunde Empire Furniture Royal Showroom, Sunlink Furniture City (South), Dongheng Furniture Mall, Nanhua Furniture Mall:
These are mid-range malls that provide cost-effective products, balancing price and quality. The products here are mostly practical, suitable for customers with limited budgets but who still value quality. While there are fewer personalized options, you should focus your procurement efforts in this area.

④Red Line Area: Daxin Furniture Mall, Julong Furniture Mall, Shunde Empire Furniture Modern Showroom:
This is a mid-low-end market, suitable for customers seeking low prices. The Shunde Empire Furniture Pricerite Showroom is a mid-range market located on the other side of the road with less foot traffic, but if you have ample time, it can be a backup option.
⑤Yellow Line Area:
If you have finished exploring the above areas, you should have found most of what you need. The yellow area is one I do not recommend visiting. While the products here are cheap, the quality is often poor, and I advise against trying them. If someone tries to pull you into these areas, be cautious; they may be collecting commissions from merchants for bringing customers, which can lead to scams.
⑥Purple Line Area - Hotel Furniture Area:
If you need to procure hotel furniture, focus on this area, which showcases a large amount of hotel furniture.
⑦Black Line Area - Lighting and Cabinet Area:
Lighting and cabinets are essential furniture for every home, and these products can also be found in the nearby malls. However, if you need more options, consider heading to Zhongshan (the lighting city of China) and Foshan Chancheng District (about a 15-minute drive away, with larger and more specialized cabinet and bathroom markets).
3.Accommodation, Food, Language, Cash, Safety

Accommodation: Please refer to the map I provided; there are several hotels within walking distance of the malls. Among them, the Sofitel Foshan Hotel inside the Louvre and Fortuna Hotel Foshan across the river are both five-star hotels.

Food: Inside the furniture city, there are many dining options available. Some restaurants are located behind the mall buildings or on the second floor, offering Chinese and Western dishes. If you prefer international flavors, there are some restaurants near Park Lane Hotel Shunde that serve Western, Indian, and halal cuisine. Although the options are limited, you won't go hungry.
Language: Many merchants can communicate in basic English, and you can negotiate using a calculator. Therefore, you usually do not need to hire a translator. If you are concerned about communication issues, you can use Google Translate or carry a translation device. If you need more professional assistance, hiring a translator is also an option, but be aware that some translators may secretly ask merchants for commissions, which is unethical.
Cash: You can bring no more than $5,000 or equivalent foreign currency cash into China; this cash can be used for procurement transactions because all merchants accept cash payments in USD or EUR. Another option is to transfer money through China trading company. All clients need to work with those companies to complete their procurement, which provide services such as translation, money transfer, inspection, logistics, customs declaration, and clearance, charging fees as needed.
Safety: Safety is the least of your worries here; it is a safe and friendly place where people are warm and welcoming, and you will enjoy your time here.
4.Shopping Tips
①I recommend focusing your procurement on the major groups such as Louvre, Empire, Sunlink, Dongheng, and Nanhua. The after-sales service in these malls is guaranteed, and if issues arise, you can complain through the mall's customer service department. Additionally, these malls do not allow commission agents inside.
②Over 70% of the stores are not furniture manufacturer outlets; they are just intermediaries, and you can hardly tell whether a store is a manufacturer outlet. Therefore, all you can do is continuously compare prices. For products with the same materials and designs, factory outlet prices are usually lower. Pay attention to the product's craftsmanship details to avoid being overcharged by intermediaries. I will share how to find manufacturer in other articles.
③Given the market's vastness, it is impossible to explore the entire market in one go. I suggest you allocate at least 7-10 days for your visit. You will need a full day to familiarize yourself with the market, and the following days can be spent comparing prices, designs, and quality. This is not an easy task, so plan for 1-2 rest days during your trip.
④Take pictures and notes to help you compare later, but remember that "you get what you pay for"; price and quality are proportional.
⑤If you need assistance, you can consult the patrolling staff in light blue uniforms; they are mall employees and can help you find restrooms, dining spots, prayer rooms, and more. Do not trust anyone who follows you; their aim is to make money.
⑥The second and third floors of the mall sometimes have unexpected surprises. The rent on the first floor (ground level) is 3-4 times that of the second floor, so products on the second floor are usually cheaper than those on the first floor; be sure to pay attention.
⑦After a day of shopping, you might need a place to relax. The mall on the second floor of Block 5 in the Sunlink (South) offers free coffee and bread, as well as prayer rooms, restaurants, and cafes for you to take a break.
