The fair is held in the spring and autumn seasons each year since the spring of 1957 in Canton (Guangzhou). It is co-hosted by the Ministry of Commerce of China and People's Government of Guangdong Province and organized by China Foreign Trade Centre. It is China's largest trade fair of the highest level, of the most complete varieties and of the largest attendance and business turnover. Preserving its traditions, the Fair is a comprehensive and multi-functional event of international importance.
In 1974, the 35th Session of the Chinese Export Commodities Fair was relocated to the purpose-built Chinese Export Commodities Fair Complex (the Liuhua Exhibition Centre). Located in the center of the city, Liuhua Exhibition Centre enjoyed the advantages of convenient traffic and dense visitor flow and was very suitable for holding public and consumer exhibitions. The Liuhua Complex initially had an area of 110,500 sqm and was expanded to 170,000 sqm over the years.
[Liuhua Complex was discontinued as a venue for the Canton Fair, starting from the 104th Session (Autumn 2008).]
The set of stamp T6 - Chinese Export Commodities Fair depicts the external view of the Liuhua Exhibition Centre.. The background of the stamp is a bright sky, which symbolizes the bright, hot and thriving fair atmosphere.
