Q: I need to buy small quantity in various designs of gentswear and kidswear from Guangzhou & shenzen. Could you tell about some markets or companies where it could be possible? Thanks.

In Guangzhou, a few large clothing wholesale markets are located on Zhanxi Lu (West-of-Station Road, meaning west of Guangzhou Railway Station). For Guangzhou clothing markets in general, take a look at this page - http://www.chinatraveladvice.com/questions-answers/237-Guangzhou-markets....

In particular, for kidswear, one place to go in Guangzhou is Zhongshan Ba Lu (Zhongshan Eighth Road). There are a number of wholesale markets there; for instance, Fuli Fuyou Tongzhuang Pifa Shichang (Fuli Women and Kids Clothing Wholesale Market) and Nantian Shangmao Cheng (Nantian Commerce and Trade city). Another place to go for children's clothing and clothing in general is Shahe, which is located in the northern part of Guangzhou. There is a Shahe Clothes Wholesale Market (Shahe Fuzhuang Pifa Shichang).

In Shenzhen, a few notable markets are located at Dongmen (East Gate). One of them is Xin Baima Fuzhuang Pifa Shichang (New White Horse Clothing Wholesale Market. Generally, however, insofar as clothing wholesale goes, Shenzhen does not seem as important as Guangzhou or Humen. Humen is a town about an hour southeast of Guangzhou. It is known as one of the largest clothing distribution centers in China. Among the notable markets there are Huanghe, Daying, and Fumin.

Also, from April 20 to 23, 2009, there will be a fair in Hong Kong that features kids' wear - "China Sourcing Fair – Baby & Children’s Product". The exhibition will held at AsiaWorld-Expo (http://www.asiaworld-expo.com/eventcalendar/EventDetail.aspx?lang=en-US&...).
