Guangzhou First Day: Airport to hotel
Your Baiyun terminal determines the first connection. T2 and T3 do not have the same metro access, so compare the entire journey to your hotel before choosing rail or a taxi.

What to do
- 1
T2: check the route from Airport North on Metro Line 3 to the station nearest your hotel, including the correct direction and transfers.
- 2
T3: the published city guide lists a shuttle to Gaozeng for Metro Lines 3 and 9. Check current boarding signs and allow for that extra transfer.
- 3
T3 also has Baiyun Airport East intercity station. Confirm the train’s stopping pattern, ticketing and onward connection before assuming it matches a metro route.
- 4
Late arrival: check both the shuttle or first train and the last city connection after baggage claim. If they do not connect, compare the official taxi queue and a confirmed hotel pickup.
- 5
Before taking a taxi, show the hotel address, check local metered fare rules and confirm payment. Do not budget from a fixed citywide airport fare.
