Direct answer: Plan a Canton Fair transfer around the confirmed exhibition visit first, then check whether each factory appointment fits the remaining journey. Record the airport or hotel, exhibition pickup point, factory entrances, appointment times and return deadline in one itinerary. A factory address alone does not confirm that the additional stop is feasible or included in the quoted fare.

Airport, hotel and Pazhou in one itinerary

| Leg | What to send for a quote | Common failure mode |
|---|---|---|
| HKG / CAN / hotel → Pazhou | Flight or hotel pin, fair phase day, preferred arrival window | Treating “Guangzhou” as a single fare without a pin |
| Mid-day hotel ↔ fair | Exact hotel entrance + meeting point | Assuming the driver can idle at any curb |
| Fair → factory | Factory gate, host name/phone, appointment time, dwell | Adding a factory pin after the fare is locked |
| Factory → airport / HK | Flight number + required airport arrival deadline | Best-case drive times with no buffer |
Canton Fair multi-stop days need an itinerary quote. The published transfer price table provides route references, not an all-day fair package. Ask for the included stops, service hours, waiting allowance and any additional charges in writing before booking.

Exhibition entrance vs vehicle pickup point
Swipe to see the full table →
| Question | Planning answer |
|---|---|
| Does the hall entrance work as the car meeting point? | Not automatically. Crowds, security and traffic controls may force a nearby agreed pin. |
| Who decides the meeting point? | Confirm with your coordinator in the pre-trip message; share it with every passenger. |
| What if the group exits a different hall? | Name a regroup point and a change-approver before the day starts. |

Adding factory visits — what changes in the quote
Swipe to see the full table →
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Exact factory address + vehicle entrance | Route and access time |
| Appointment start and expected dwell | Waiting / overtime |
| Order of factories | Cross-district extras and feasibility |
| Return deadline (flight / dinner / hotel) | Whether the day still fits one vehicle |
| Passenger + sample luggage load | May need a second car—see capacity guide |
