The city sells almost everything no stranger to garment with a humongous amount of China clothing manufacturers sprung up a few decades ago. You’ll run into a vast array of lovely boutiques at Taikoo if you are looking for clothes in downtown Guangzhou, however, the astronomical price tag might probably drive you away as it is unbelievably high. So where should you go for wholesale clothing suppliers that can fit an average budget without compromising on quality?
It is never a difficult task to find affordable clothes in Guangzhou as there are lots of large-scale, famous markets as well as shops around Guangzhou metro lines or in the neighboring outskirt of the city. The following are the top three famous garment markets in Guangzhou where you can get quality goods on a budget.
Where to find wholesale clothing suppliers in China?
- Shisanhang clothes wholesale markets
- Shahe clothes wholesale markets
- Zhanxi clothes wholesale markets
The challenge, in the easy task of getting affordable fashion garment in Guangzhou, is to avoid junk during your smart search. Look out not to get imitation even in branded shops or outlet stores. Some people are targeted at replica goods while others are trying to get away from them. However, a neat thing about replicas is that they are now of much better quality, especially 1:1 quality ones than they used to be. It happened to many foreigners that after wearing the shoes or clothes after a couple of times, they tear up because of poor quality. However, one thing you should keep in mind while shopping at Guangzhou clothes wholesale markets: Changing rooms are rare. Don’t think you can change your mind and get the money back after several days or several hours of confirming the order.
Now, let’s delve into these clothes wholesale markets in China.
1. Guangzhou Shisanhang Clothing Wholesale Market Area 广州十三行服装批发市场
A visit to Shisanhang clothes market takes you down to the historical Xiguan area and close to Xidier electronic markets in Guangzhou and Liwan Plaza jewelry market if you are also looking for Chinese jade jewellery.
The markets in Shisanhang mainly cover four main streets: Shisanhang Road, Guyi Street, Doulanshang Road and Hepingdong Road, attracting customers from all over the world.
On Shisanhang Road, there are two most famous buildings including New China Building and Hongbiantian Building, both focus on China wholesale fashion clothes, sports apparel for men, women and kids. Prices differ upon quantity and quality, usually it starts from 20-200 RMB. Many other shops on Shisanghang Road with many custom T-shirt makers offering middle quality clothes at much incentive price. The opening time for wholesale stores is quite early, usually at around 5 am and close at about 1 pm.
Guyi Street is also famous for its cheap clothes. It is a narrow street between Heping dong and Shisanhang. It is the oldest business street in Shisanhang as people have been doing business for at least 300 years, selling everything from second-hand clothes to beautiful silks. Not until 1980s does retail and wholesale business start on Guyi Street. Prices for goods on Guyi Street go from 5-50rmb.
Doulanshang and Hepingdong roads comprise the rest of the clothing market. While prices are affordable here at 10-150 RMB, its reputation for quality is not so good.

What to be aware of while buying from China clothes wholesale markets?
-
Opening time
Some markets open in the earlier morning and close at noon like 13:00pm while some markets open from 9:00-10:00am to 18:00-19:00pm.
-
Traffic
Traffic can be a nightmare if you rent a car for a day to go to different markets. Parking and getting stuck in the road will kill most of the day. It’s suggested to go by metro or take taxi.
-
Quality
It’s quite challenging to do quality inspection in the shops in the wholesale markets if you’re buying in bulk. Most of the shops take up very limited spaces, there’s even traffic congestion inside the markets, sometimes you can’t even move forward with the huge crowds. There’re chances that you might get some inferior ones.
-
Sizes
Most of the clothes are only available in Asian sizes.
-
Returning policy
Changing room is rare, and it’s almost impossible to get money back, so check carefully before going into the deal.

Cash used to be the king in offline shops in China. However, with the popularity of wechat pay, alipay, most shops accept digital payments. But not including credit cards.
Three questions to ask before buying from China clothes wholesale markets.
-
Do Chinese wholesalers have export license?
The vast majority of clothes wholesalers in the wholesaler markets in China focus more on domestic markets like taobao, or work with export agents. Seldom do they have export licenses. If you’re buying directly from them, make sure they can export for you or you have agents to export the goods.
-
Can the clothes be relabeled?
If you don’t want to sell under others’ brands, it’s better to make sure the clothes wholesalers can put on your brand. Usually the clothes with stocks feature others’ brands.
-
Can you do quality control over wholesale clothes?
The risk of getting poor quality clothes with defects is certainly not low while buying directly from wholesalers in the markets than producing private label clothes based on your specifications.

Hi Khan, thanks for contact. I wish I could help you but I don’t know much about procedures required for foreigners opening restaurants in China. As with most businesses in China I think it would need lots of paperwork and some other requirements. In Guangzhou there are lots of restaurants and bars owned by foreigners. It’s better if you get to know those expats in Guangzhou who have restaurants or consulting companies that are devoted to help foreigners set up businesses in China. Wish you best of luck.
