Guangzhou First Day: Arrival point choices

Baiyun Airport (CAN) has changed its terminal arrangements. Check your flight’s current terminal; an older guide describing only T1 and T2 can send you to the wrong connection.

What to do

  1. 1

    Confirm the terminal with your airline. Guangzhou’s May 2026 notice reported the transfer of T1 flights to T3.

  2. 2

    For T2, check Metro Line 3 at Airport North. For T3, compare the Gaozeng metro shuttle and the intercity station called Baiyun Airport East.

  3. 3

    At T3, rail, shuttle buses, taxis and ride-hailing use different boarding locations. Follow your terminal’s signs and ask the information desk before leaving arrivals.

  4. 4

    Save your hotel’s full Chinese address and district, then compare the total route, including transfers and the final walk.

Double-check before you rely on this

  • The exact arrival point and hotel branch are saved offline.

  • You have checked the last connection and the complete route to the hotel.

  • You have confirmed payment for an alternative if the first route is unavailable.
