Service
China Trip & Operations Desk
Your China trip planned end-to-end. Your factory visits arranged. Your interpreter ready before you land.
Overview
A productive week in Guangzhou or Shenzhen is mostly logistics. Which factories to visit in which order. How to get there. Who interprets when the factory boss switches to Cantonese halfway through. How to get a same-day quote into a clean comparison table on the train back. I treat your China trip as an operations problem and solve it accordingly.
What's included
- — Trip itinerary tailored to your supplier shortlist
- — Hotel, airport pickup, and intercity transport (Guangzhou ↔ Shenzhen ↔ Dongguan)
- — Bilingual interpretation in factory and meeting settings
- — Meeting facilitation, agenda, and structured minutes
- — Trade-show accompaniment (Canton Fair, HKTDC, industry shows)
- — Document translation for contracts, specs, and quotations
- — Real-time on-the-ground problem solving
Who it's for
First-time visitors to South China, time-constrained buyers, and overseas teams who need a competent local partner for a 3–10 day visit. Also useful for repeat visitors who want to compress travel time and skip the logistics overhead.
How it works
Engagement typically begins 2–4 weeks before your arrival. Brief, itinerary draft, supplier confirmations, and prep call before you board. On the ground, I am with you for the days you book me; off the ground, available by message for follow-ups.
Common questions
Are you available outside Guangzhou?
Pearl River Delta cities (Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, Zhongshan) are home turf. Hong Kong is a regular working trip. Other cities in China are case-by-case — happy to discuss.
What languages do you interpret?
English ↔ Mandarin, professionally. Cantonese conversational. For other languages or specialized technical fields (medical, legal), I bring in a vetted partner.
Can you help with visa or business invitation?
I can advise on the process and provide supporting documents from the Chinese side, but the visa application itself is handled by you with your local Chinese consulate.
