Lecong International Furniture Exhibition Center, located in Foshan, an hr-drive from Guangzhou, is an impressive five stories building complex selling only furniture, catering for foreign and rich Chinese market. An upscale living room set is sold for ¥9600 ~ $1200. I didn’t get any. I went just beside Lecong Furniture, where I found another mega complex selling the same living room for ¥1440 ~ $180. Not real leather! You want real leather you pay double. A dining room set is sold for ¥800~$100 including the chairs. The very same furniture is sold in Kinshasa for $5000!!! You have to get up early to go Foshan; it takes the whole day to visit this area.
