Wonderful Stay During 104th Canton Fair in Hong Kong

We are pleased to inform you that with G-d’s help, we have reached an agreement with the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Guangzhou. We will be opening a synagogue and glatt kosher restaurant in the hotel, and will use their services during the course of the 104th Canton Fair, for the second and third weeks.

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel is a new hotel that has attained the title “The most prestigious and beautiful hotel in Southern China”. The hotel is the second closest to the new Fair center amongst the hotels in the area. It is only a 12 minute taxi ride from the center of the Fairs. Additionally, during all hours of Fair activity, a special shuttle bus will be running back and forth between the Fair center and the hotel, for the convenience of our members.

This year, as compared to the past years, the Fair will only take place at the new Pazhou complex. It will be divided into three parts and exhibitions on various subjects will be held in each part.
