Jinhan Fair for Home & Gifts, or simply Jinhan Fair, is China’s largest and most specialized export trade platform for the home and gift sector. Notably, it is the country’s only export exhibition in this industry approved by The Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI).

Established in 2000, the trade show is held twice a year in Guangzhou, with spring and autumn editions. Spanning approximately 90,000 square meters, the fair brings together around 1,200 manufacturers and showcases more than 300,000 products.

One of the fair’s main advantages is its convenient timing and location. In autumn 2026, Jinhan Fair will take place from October 21 to 27, overlapping with Phase 2 of the 140th Canton Fair, which will run from October 23 to 27. The two venues are only a three-minute walk apart, and Jinhan Fair will remain open until 8:00 p.m. each day. These advantages allow international buyers to visit both events easily during a single sourcing trip.

👉 How to Prepare for Trade Shows in China

Large exhibitions may feature hundreds or even thousands of suppliers. Simply visiting booths without a clear plan is unlikely to produce the best sourcing results. International buyers should prepare in advance:

(1) Define clear sourcing requirements. Detailed product specifications help suppliers provide accurate quotations.

(2) Research exhibitors and schedule meetings. Key suppliers often have busy schedules during major exhibitions, so arranging appointments in advance allows more time for meaningful discussions.

(3) Prepare product information and quotation comparison templates. Standardized forms make it easier to record and compare prices, MOQs, and lead times.

(4) Confirm entry and travel arrangements. Verify the applicable visa and entry regulations before finalizing your travel plans.

(5) Evaluate suppliers after the event. Before placing an order, conduct sample testing, background checks, factory audits, and contract reviews where appropriate.

👉 Conclusion

Home, gift and garden trade shows in China each serve different sourcing needs. For international buyers focused on home decor, seasonal products, and garden & outdoor living products, Jinhan Fair offers a more concentrated product range and supplier base.
