Cihai International (CITC) – The “One-Stop Container Festival”
Picture a trade-fair that never packs up, this Cihai aka Ceramics International Trading Center. Cihai’s 1.8 million ft² campus houses 400 factories under one roof, each booth set up like a mini showroom. In the sanitary-ware hall you can walk from rimless WCs that cost USD 28 EXW to nano-glaze bidet toilets at USD 89 without leaving the same corridor. The on-site customs broker can clear an export declaration in 45 minutes; by the time your container reaches the bonded warehouse, the paperwork is already stamped. Tip: use the QR code on every price tag—scan once and the factory’s full spec sheet lands in your inbox before you reach the next aisle.
Address: No. 1 Cihai Road, Wugang Avenue, Nanzhuang Town, Chancheng District, Foshan, Guangdong, China
China Ceramics City Foshan – The Bathroom Super-Mall
Forget markets—this is a four-storey luxury gallery devoted to everything you install after the tiles are down. Seventy percent of the floor space is wet-room only: matte-black Japanese basins, German soft-close seats, Italian freestanding tubs that look like sculpture. Every brand booth has a working flush station; lift the lid, press the chrome plate, watch the swirl. The concierge desk will pre-book meeting rooms upstairs where you can CAD-match a vanity to your US plumbing rough-in while sipping a flat white.
Address: No. 4-6 Jiangwan 3rd Road, Chancheng District, Foshan, Guangdong, China
CASA Ceramic & Sanitary World Mall (Emeijia) – Where Art Meets MOQ
Thirty flagship studios belong to factories that normally stay hidden behind OEM labels. Here they show limited-edition terrazzo-print toilets, hand-painted vessel sinks, and basins cast in volcanic limestone—products you won’t see in any catalogue. Each corridor ends at a “sample bar”: pick a chip, scan the QR, and the sales rep receives your RFQ in real time. Upstairs a 24-hour prototyping centre will mill a full-size acrylic mock-up of your custom vanity while you finish lunch. They stage three curated exhibitions a year; treat them as trend labs for the next season’s palette.
Address: No. 4-5 Emeijia Road, Shiwan Town, Chancheng District, Foshan, Guangdong, China
Huayi Ceramics & Decoration Market – The Premium Runway
Think Bond Street with better coffee. Monobrand boutiques—TOTO, Duravit, Villeroy & Boch—line marble-floored boulevards. Every showroom has a private specification suite: 4K CAD wall, swappable finishes, instant BoQ. The bilingual after-sales team on the top floor will photograph your container being sealed and WhatsApp you the images before the truck leaves for Shekou port. Come here when you need brand pedigree and white-glove paperwork.
Address: No. 1 Huayi Road, Shiwan Town, Chancheng District, Foshan, Guangdong, China
Huaxia Ceramics Wholesale City – The Volume Playground
Spread over 1.2 million m², Huaxia is where purchase orders start at “five 40 HQ a month.” One aisle can hold twenty porcelain factories offering the same model in five price bands—from standard glaze at USD 3.20/m² to nano-coating and fire-polished edges at USD 7.10/m². Negotiations happen in glass booths with LED price counters that tick lower every sixty seconds. Two bonded warehouses sit opposite the gates; finish paperwork by 4 p.m. and your container rolls out the same evening.
Address: No. 1 Huaxia Avenue, Shiwan Town, Chancheng District, Foshan, Guangdong, China
