I'm visiting Guangzhou for a few weeks with my fiancé, which has relatives here, and thought I'd pick up a nice and cheap goban when I'm here.

After a few days of shopping, I still haven't been able to track one down though.
I tried asking a few of her relatives if they had any idea on where to track one down, but they didn't know either.

Anyone been to Guangzhou, and know where I should look (or just to China in general, and able to provide me with some pointers?).

It would really be appreciated.

Some other places I found from Chinese websites
南岸路 文化体育用品市场
一德路 德宝文化用品市场

Hope it help you find something suitable.

there are TONS of small stationery stores along the streets
the easiest way is to find elementary or middle schools, there must be stationery stores around them
I would say 90% of them sell Go sets
good luck!
