Guangzhou Layover Tips
Plan Around the Canton Fair
During Canton Fair periods (April/May, October/November), hotel rates surge and availability drops. Book at least 1 month in advance.
Use the Metro for City Access
Guangzhou Metro Line 3 connects the airport to the city center. It's reliable and avoids traffic congestion on the airport expressway.
Verify Terminal Before Booking
Baiyun has two terminals. The Pullman connects to T1 via walkway. For T2 flights, check which hotels offer T2 shuttle service.
Carry Cash for Small Purchases
While mobile payments (WeChat Pay, Alipay) dominate in China, having some RMB cash is useful for taxis and small vendors.
