Guangzhou can be quite an expensive city to visit because it is an industrial city. If you are planning a pleasure trip to Guangzhou, do not schedule it during the months of April or October because this is when the Chinese Export Commodities Fairs are held and the city is teeming with businessmen. July and August are the most popular tourist months for traveling to Guangzhou. However, November to March is the best time to visit (financially) because room rates of hotels in Guangzhou are low. Guangzhou has hotels to suit every budget; from 5-star resorts to small guest houses.
