How To Get To Guangzhou?
Guangzhou is easily accessible from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, America, and many other international destinations through Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport — one of China’s largest and busiest airports. The airport offers direct international flights and convenient transit connections from major cities around the world.
Visitors traveling from Europe and other countries can arrive directly in Guangzhou or connect through major international hubs such as Dubai, Doha, Istanbul, Bangkok, Singapore, Beijing, or Shanghai. From the airport, guests can easily reach the city center and event locations by metro, taxi, airport shuttle, or high-speed transportation services.
Guests can easily search and book flights through popular travel platforms such as Trip.com, Booking.com, and Skyscanner.
By Metro: You can get around Guangzhou pretty easily using its metro system, which connects most of the places.
By Didi: Didi is China’s version of Uber, more reliable and much more affordable. It’s an easy and comfortable way to get around cities like Guangzhou. You can see the price in advance and hail a ride using the Didi mini-app inside Alipay, with all payments handled directly through Alipay. It’s an efficient, fast, and budget-friendly way to travel around the city.
- Always Carry Your Passport: Everything revolves around your passport/ID in China, and it’s often used interchangeably as your main form of identification. Many major tourist attractions require you to show your passport when buying a ticket, and the ticket will then be linked to it. You’ll scan your passport again to enter. The same applies to high-speed trains. It’s best to carry your passport with you at all times while traveling in China.
- Get an eSIM: China’s cashless economy relies on constant internet access, so having a data connection is essential.
- Connect Alipay with Your Credit Card: First, download Alipay from the app store, set up your account, and link it to your credit card. This will be one of the two main ways you’ll pay for services in China. Alipay also has mini-apps built in, such as Didi (China’s version of Uber), so you don’t need to download separate apps, and you can use them directly through Alipay. Very convenient!
- Get WeChat Set Up: WeChat is another essential app for communicating with locals.
