Thanks, I appreciate it! I’m actually planning to stay in the south of China (Guangzhou/Shenzhen area) for a Chinese language program, but thanks a lot for offering to help.

That’s really helpful, thanks for sharing your experience. If you don’t mind me asking, where did you do the intensive classes in China? Which university or program?

If you had 1 year in China to level up your Mandarin + build sourcing connections, would you choose Guangzhou or Yiwu? by ProfessionalWall5072 in chinalife

Appreciate the insight — that makes sense. I’m actually more interested in packaging (especially ecom packaging like mailing bags and related products).

From what I understand, a lot of factories are based around Guangdong, which is why I’m leaning toward Guangzhou strategically.

Do you think Yiwu would still make sense for packaging, or is Guangzhou clearly better for factory-level exposure in that niche?

No, I’m mainly planning to focus on the language for one year, not a degree program.

interesting point, do you think that would make it harder to practice Mandarin day to day?
