    Staying near the fair will cost big dollars. better to stay further away and travel to the fair. There are thousands of visitors to the fair and some even stay in Shenzhen and travel to Guangzhou each day.

    next to the fair would be best...try the White Swan....most people that goes to the fair are booked far in advance as it is a yearly thing with a lot of foreigners attending. I have not been there since they put in a subway system in the area, I(have heard) still me being Chinese, I had a hard time getting around the city. Taxi is maybe the best way to get around if you are not in the center of town. Good luck and enjoy China cheers tommy x

    A lot of hotels have a bus service that goes to the fair so don't be overly concerned with being too close as long as they have this service.
