Lighting and hardware markets in Nanzhuang and nearby districts
We understand how each market works and can help you navigate efficiently.

If your visit or inspection takes longer, we can stay a bit later as needed to complete the day’s schedule.

We can adjust according to your travel plans — metro, taxi, or private car rental.
Most clients prefer hiring a private car for convenience and time efficiency.
We can help arrange a trusted local driver if needed.

What information should I provide when booking?

Please share the following details when making a booking:
Planned dates and travel schedule
Markets or factories you want to visit
Number of days you need interpreting service
We’ll confirm availability and help organize your daily route in advance.

Can you help with product inspection?

Our interpreters often assist clients during factory or warehouse inspections, helping check quantities, take photos, and verify product quality on site.
We can also provide a brief inspection summary afterward if needed.

our parent company, Tanndy Ltd, provides one-stop export and logistics support.
You can contact us for details or introductions to their service team.

What’s the difference between an interpreter and a translator?

Many clients call us “translators”, but what we actually do is interpreting — helping you communicate in real time with suppliers, factories, and market vendors.
A translator usually works with written documents (such as contracts or manuals),
while an interpreter helps with spoken communication — for example, during factory visits, negotiations, and sourcing trips.
So even if you ask for a “translator”, don’t worry — you’re in the right place.
We provide exactly the service you need: on-site English–Chinese interpreting in Foshan.
