Guangdong opens two downtown duty-free stores on August 26 in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, saving international visitors the hassle of airport shopping by bringing duty-free options directly to the city center.


The duty-free stores are accessible to everyone, offering duty-free purchases for eligible shoppers and taxable goods to the general public.


If you are departing from China within the next 60 days with an international flight or cruise ship ticket, you are eligible to buy duty-free commodities in the stores located in your departure city!


You'll find a wide selection of global and local brands in the stores, all while enjoying a day out in the city.


Join Alison, an English teacher at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies (GDUFS) in Guangzhou, for a one-day shopping experience in Guangzhou's downtown duty-free store to get a complete guide on who, what, and how.
