101Guide: Shunde Longjiang and Lecong ~ China's Largest Furniture Town

👀 Introduction: Longjiang (龙江) 📌 is a town in west-central Guangdong province under the administration of Shunde District, Foshan City, which lies 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) to the north-northeast. The town 🏙️ covers an area of 78.3 square kilometres. 🏖️ Attractions: Longjiang is just 15mins away from Lecong International Furnishing City located at Lecong Town 📌, which is the largest furniture 🪑 market in China (probably the world). Known as the richest 💰 town in Shunde, it also also big in steel and the plastic market besides the usual furniture parts, fittings and accessories. If you are in the business of furniture or if you are sourcing for cheap and high quality products, this is a "must visit place" as it has everything here. It's amazing to witness a whole township of furniture wholesalers, retailers and exhibition centres. In fact restaurants and hotels here have the furniture word in between. The furniture 🪑 markets stretches over miles and miles and covers a whopping 3 million+ square metres. We stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel which is the central of the LongJiang town and also a landmark 📌. We walked around Winsun Centre Shopping Mall 🛍️ which doesn't have much stuffs besides the usual local Chinese brands but it does have lots of F&B 🍲 eateries. Strangely, we do see a lot of this mall (with the same Winsun name) in a few locations and with name variants like supermarket, etc. Down the road, around 1.5km from Courtyard we went to Gong Hou Tian Temple (宫后天) ⛩️ which is near the wet market area. The area here is old and small, but there are also a lot of eateries 🍲 here, comprising mainly local Shunde dishes. Opposite, there are a few local banks 🏦 such as CGB, ABC, BOC, etc on one stretch of road. 🔚 Conclusion: Rating: 🌟 🌟 🌟 3.5/5 If you are sourcing for furniture 💺, Lecong is the No 1️⃣ place to visit. We also see many hotels around here so it shouldn't be difficult to get accommodation. Lijiang, on the other hand is a small township and most F&B, hotels, retail stores are concentrated around a 3km radius from the Centre (Courtyard 🏩 Hotel). 💡 Tip: Recommended Restaurant 🍲 ~ JELI King 啫王 famous for Claypot Dishes. Their signature Claypot Chicken is delicious 😋!! #Foshan #100waysoftravel #longjiang #lecong
