Buy clothing or fabric in Guangzhou: Baima versus Zhongda

Choose finished garments or fabric first, then take the right product brief to the market.

Quick answer

Use Baima / 白马服装市场 for finished clothing. Use Guangzhou International Textile City / 广州国际轻纺城 in the Zhongda cluster for fabrics and trims. They serve different buying tasks and sit in different districts; do not send a driver only the word “Zhongda”.

Baima: finished clothing

Address: 16 Zhannan Road, Yuexiu / 越秀区站南路16号, opposite Guangzhou Railway Station. The operator lists Metro Lines 2 and 5, Guangzhou Railway Station Exit G, and market hours 08:00–18:00.

Baima’s clothing trade remains active in recent 2026 Guangzhou Commerce Bureau reporting. Call 020-86228888 to ask which floors or stalls fit your product before visiting. For WeChat, the operator lists BAIMA_MARKET.

Take a size chart, material requirements, target quantity and photos. Ask whether the offer is ready stock, a sample, a wholesale pack or a production order. Check whether sizes/colours can be mixed.

Textile City: fabric and accessories

Use the market pin for 广州国际轻纺城 around Ruikang Road and Jinfang Road, Haizhu. Metro Line 10 Zhongda South Gate / 中大南门 is the newer access point; the current map listing points to Exit A. Zhongda / 中大 on Metro Line 8 is a different station name.

Ask for the service desk at B1, the second-floor atrium or seventh-floor Area D. Its published desk hours are 09:00–18:30; the operator lists 020-89000000 as a 24-hour service line. Individual shops can keep different hours.

Bring a swatch or specification: fibre composition, weight, width, colour and intended use. Ask whether the quote is per metre, yard or kilogram, whether stock is available and what quantity starts a production order.

Before buying samples

  1. Keep the seller’s card, shop number, fabric/product code and written quote together. Mark each swatch so you can match it to the supplier later.
  2. Confirm sample price, minimum order, batch/colour consistency and delivery date. Do not treat a sample as proof that every future batch will match.
  3. For a hotel delivery, confirm reception’s permission and use the exact Chinese branch address. Arrange freight separately for rolls or cartons.

If you cannot find the right seller

Show the category or swatch at the named customer-service desk. Ask for a floor and shop number rather than asking simply for “the market”.

Use the map links below for the exact building. Avoid substituting another textile park because a translated name sounds similar.
