antiques markets and the jade markets.

[Filan]

My friend and I, we will be arriving in Guangzhou, from Macao, January 15 th ( which is a Sunday )in early afternoon, and we will stay 2 nights 15 th and 16 th, leaving on the 17 th to Hong Kong ( in the afternoon ).
We are mostly interested in buying antiques and visiting the antiques markets and the jade markets.
Does anyone have any suggestions to what we should do?
in which day and time?
and which places (or shops) are better to buy nice antique pieces ( not necessarily expensive ones ).
All answers are very welcome.
Thans for eveything
