Canton Fair: The First Fair of China

Canton Fair is a brief name for China Import and Export Fair, which is called the first fair of China. It is true. Canton Fair started from 1957, originally named China Export Fair. After the establishment of People’s Republic China, China was blocked by the western world. The Canton Fair played an important role of communication. It is almost the only way for Chinese to look outside during a long time. Although a lot of exhibitions compete against Canton Fair, nowadays Canton Fair is still the First Fair of China for the time and varieties. It is a good start for the foreign buyers who are not so familiar with China.
