Most stations have English signs, maps, and announcements. Services generally begin at around 6:00 AM and end between 11:00 PM and midnight. Exact first and last-train times depend on the line and station.

Yang Cheng Tong Transport Card
Yang Cheng Tong is Guangzhou’s rechargeable transport card. It works on the metro, public buses, trams, and many water bus routes.
You can buy selected card types from metro service counters, Yang Cheng Tong service centers, and some convenience stores. A deposit card generally requires a CNY 20 deposit, plus the amount you want to add.
For a three to five-day visit, adding around CNY 50 to 100 is usually enough if you mainly use the metro and public buses.
Yang Cheng Tong is useful if you:
- Do not want to set up mobile payment
- Have limited mobile data
- Plan to use buses and water buses
- Are staying in Guangzhou for several days
Guangzhou Public Buses
Public buses are cheap and reach areas that are not directly beside a metro station. Most regular city bus rides start from around CNY 2.
You can pay with a Yang Cheng Tong card, a supported transport QR code, or exact RMB cash. Drivers normally do not provide change.
Bus routes can be difficult for first-time visitors because some information is mainly in Chinese. Use Amap or Baidu Maps to check the bus number, boarding stop, direction, and number of stops.
Tips for Taking Guangzhou Buses
- Prepare exact cash when paying without a card.
- Save your destination name and address in Chinese.
- Follow your location using a map app.
- Press the stop button before your destination when required.
- Avoid public buses when carrying large luggage.
- Allow extra time because road traffic can be heavy.
Guangzhou Sightseeing Buses
Guangzhou sightseeing buses connect several popular tourist areas, including Canton Tower, Beijing Road, Chen Clan Academy, Shamian Island, and Zhujiang New Town.
They cost more than regular public buses but can be convenient for families and first-time visitors. Routes, stops, and operating times may change, so confirm the latest schedule before buying a ticket.
Guangzhou Taxis
Licensed taxis are available at airports, railway stations, hotels, shopping malls, and official taxi stands.
The starting fare is around CNY 12 for the first 3 kilometers, approximately ₱109. Additional distance is generally charged at around CNY 2.60 per kilometer. Night surcharges, traffic, waiting time, and road tolls may apply.
Guangzhou Taxi Tips
- Use the official taxi queue.
- Check that the meter is running.
- Show your destination in Chinese.
- Keep a screenshot of your hotel address.
- Ask for a receipt.
- Carry small RMB notes as backup.
DiDi and Ride-Hailing Apps
DiDi is China’s main ride-hailing app and is the closest alternative to Grab. The English version supports foreign mobile numbers and international credit cards. You can also book rides through Alipay.
DiDi displays the pickup point, estimated fare, car type, driver information, and destination before the journey. This makes communication easier when the driver does not speak English.
DiDi is recommended for:
- Late-night trips
- Families with children
- Travelers carrying luggage
- Destinations far from a metro station
- Airport and railway station transfers
Guangzhou Water Bus
Guangzhou’s public water buses cross different parts of the Pearl River. They are mainly used by locals, but tourists can also enjoy an inexpensive river ride.
Fares usually range from CNY 1 to 5, depending on the route and seating area. One useful route is the short crossing between Huangsha and Fangcun.
Operating times vary by route. Check the latest schedule before going to the pier because some services only run during selected hours.
Pearl River Night Cruise
A Pearl River night cruise is a sightseeing activity rather than regular public transport. Cruises usually last around 60 to 90 minutes and provide views of Canton Tower, Haixinsha, Liede Bridge, and the city’s illuminated riverfront.
Boats depart from different piers, including Tianzi Wharf. Ticket prices depend on the departure pier, boat, seat type, and included services.
Haizhu Tram
The Haizhu Tram is a scenic transport option along the Pearl River. It connects Canton Tower with Wanshengwei and passes areas near Party Pier, Pazhou, and the Canton Fair Complex.
A regular ride costs around CNY 2. The full route generally takes around 25 to 40 minutes. It is slower than the metro but offers better river views.
The tram is best for travelers who want a relaxed sightseeing experience.
Shared Bikes
Shared bikes from Hello Bike and Meituan are commonly found near metro stations, parks, malls, and residential neighborhoods.
Scan the QR code using the correct app, unlock the bike, and end the ride after parking in an approved area. Registration and identity verification may be less convenient for short-term foreign visitors.
Avoid cycling during heavy rain, extreme heat, or busy traffic. Helmets may not be provided.

Recommended areas for walking include:
- Beijing Road and Dafo Temple
- Shamian Island
- Yongqingfang
- Zhujiang New Town
- Canton Tower and the Pearl River promenade
- Yuexiu Park
- Dongshankou
Guangzhou is often hot and humid. Wear comfortable shoes, bring drinking water, and carry a small umbrella during the rainy season.
High-Speed Trains from Guangzhou
Guangzhou is a major railway hub with high-speed trains to Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shanghai, Beijing, and other Chinese cities.
Guangzhou South is the main high-speed railway station. It is outside the central tourist districts, so allow extra time for the metro journey, security check, and finding your boarding gate.
Other trains may depart from Guangzhou East, Guangzhou Railway Station, Guangzhou Baiyun, or Panyu. Always check the exact station shown on your ticket because these stations are far apart.
Foreign travelers can book train tickets using a passport. Enter your name exactly as shown on the passport and bring the original document on your travel date.

Guangzhou East Railway Station/Wushan Guangzhou|1.16km from city center
Due to an early high-speed train, I checked in very late. I chose this hotel over a similar-priced competitor near Guangzhou East Station, hoping for a more personalized experience and a good rest. However, the entire experience was an absolute nightmare, and I barely slept. The room was old, and the smell was incredibly strong; my rhinitis kept me congested and unable to breathe properly all night. I couldn't even improve the situation by lowering the AC temperature or fan speed – I can't believe there are still hotels these days where you can't control the room temperature yourself. The most infuriating part was when I checked out and reported these issues to the male front desk staff. He completely disregarded my feedback, even sneeringly suggesting I could have changed rooms, as if he was annoyed I'd interrupted his nap at the front desk. There was zero empathy or service awareness. After I left, hotel staff added me directly on WeChat without even calling first, asking for a positive review. When I reiterated my complaints, they just offered generic platitudes about giving me something on my next stay.FromPHP 3,320

Tianhe Stadium/TaiKoo Hui Guangzhou|0.86km from city center
Oakwood Premier is extremely convenient - just one metro station ride on Line 1 from Guangzhou East rail station, and ＜10 mins walk from Exit A.
The check in, restaurant and housekeeping staff members are courteous and responsive to our needs - extra towels, restaurant bookings etc. It is a welcoming change from other hotel chains in other countries which we experienced lately.
The room is clean and spacious. There is however too many furniture (probably due to accommodating long term guests who need plenty of storage). Less furniture would be ideal with more walking space and effective opening of doors, eg bedroom door, if open, will block access to the wardrobe door.
The breakfast buffet spread is sufficient - Chinese and western dishes. The dining room is huge, bright and spacious with large windows. The F&B knowledge could be improved though eg having available the appropriate condiments with the buffet items (calamari rings, delicious but no dips to go with), fresh waffle with no maple syrup (just 4 different fruit jams and 1 peanut butter options), crispy bacon (but not cripsy in reality), Chinese dim sum (with no chili oil/sauce, vinegar etc) at lukewarm temperature (the steaming switch was deliberately kept at OFF though I switched it to ON several times.)
We will be back though. The value is in the location, clean and spacious room. Not the food.FromPHP 6,740

Pros:
The hotel has an excellent location, close to many well-known restaurants and shopping malls, making it very convenient to get almost anything you need.
The staff were polite and always greeted us warmly. They also tried their best to fulfil my requests noted in the booking remarks. As I was travelling with elderly parents, they kindly arranged anti-slip mats for every bathroom. Many tables were also fitted with protective coverings to help reduce the risk of injury.
Cons:
The bathroom floor towel had a lipstick stain. I also requested a bolster, but instead received two pillows tied together, which was a bit disappointing. The lift can be quite slow.

Guangzhou East Railway Station/Wushan Guangzhou|1.07km from city center
This was my first time choosing the Hilton brand, despite having traveled many times before, and frankly, I wasn't very satisfied with the experience. Although the staff were quick to address issues, the fundamental problem was the old and outdated facilities.
As soon as my mother and I entered the room, we noticed a distinct foul odor. Considering the significant rainfall in Guangdong recently, we thought it might be a smell coming from the air conditioning ducts, so we ran the AC for a long time. It improved slightly after we returned from dinner that evening. However, when we came back to the hotel the next day and opened the door, there was still a noticeable foul and musty smell. We called the front desk to report the issue, and the staff quickly brought an air purifier. While the foul smell did improve, the musty smell remained persistent.
They did offer to move us to another room, but since we were checking out the very next day, we really didn't want the hassle.
I have sensitive, allergic skin, and shortly after resting my chin on the pillow that was in contact with the headboard, I developed a large area of redness and itching. I hope the hotel seriously investigates their hygiene standards and checks the bedding for dust mites.
Also, I've rarely seen such a stingy mini-bar offering – only two Cokes and one juice for the initial complimentary selection.FromPHP 5,591

As it was my bday i asked the hotel if they had anything complimentary for someone celebrating their bday to which she said fruit platter then added some dim sum..acceptable but would be nice if they arranged without me asking.

I checked into the hotel late at night, and the front desk staff kindly upgraded me to a room on the 21st floor. The smart home system was fantastic, and the room even had a bathtub! The soundproofing was excellent; even though my room faced the elevators, I didn't hear a single sound from outside all night.
The only downside was the smart lighting system, which bothered me all night. If I got up in the middle of the night, it would activate, but there was no single button to turn all the lights off. It took several attempts to get them off, and then I couldn't get back to sleep...

Location & Surroundings: The hotel is situated in Huacheng Hui Central, surrounded by numerous shopping malls, making it convenient for shopping and dining. From the hotel lobby, you can see the Canton Tower and the East and West Towers. The only minor inconvenience is that the hotel lobby is on the 22nd floor, while guest rooms are on floors below the lobby. So, every time you return to your room, you have to take one elevator to the 22nd floor, and then another elevator down to your room floor.
Service: Overall, the service was quite good, but food deliveries are not allowed to be brought to the room; only other types of deliveries are permitted.
Room Layout & Facilities: I stayed in a twin room. The room's layout and flow weren't very practical. Upon entering, you have to navigate a narrow turn before reaching the bedroom area. The shower and bathtub are right next to each other, and there are very few flat surfaces in the room to place belongings, including by the bedside.FromPHP 7,524

You can even see the Canton Tower from the room. The staff provided excellent service, helping me receive and store a package, which I really appreciated. However, there are areas that I feel need improvement. In this day and age, as a four-star hotel, the room facilities are quite outdated. There's no voice control whatsoever; everything has to be done manually. The breakfast was very limited and the taste was just average. There were no Guangzhou-specific breakfast options.FromPHP 3,438

Staff in every department were polite, attentive, and thoughtful. On the 9th, breakfast was quite crowded due to an exhibition, so by around 9 AM, many dishes were already gone.

Traveling with my mother, we chose this established five-star hotel, and the experience far exceeded our expectations. The front desk manager, Michelle, was incredibly thoughtful.

My room was a luxurious suite with private bath tub (around hkd 3000 for two nights including breakfast). Hardware is definitely exceptional. However when it comes to service it is below standard:
1) front desk - service was poor without any greetings such as bell boy. Front desk officers were unhappy without any eye contact when they talk to you. No hospitality at all;
2) breakfast - the quality both food and service were not up to a 4 or 5 star service. Table was not clean, staffs were almost unfriendly, except one female manager and one staff, all staffs were rushing their task and unwelcoming. I believe the hotel management need to motivate their staff ,otherwise, people won’t come again.
3) Amnenties - room is a luxurious suite with private bath tub, massage chair, kitchen , dining table and queen bed. The tub was not very clean, with water splitting . Such a waste as their service was not meeting the standard of what it is expected to be a 5- star resort. (The environment, garden were nicely decorated indeed) The Hot Spring pool is well known but I have’s try so cannot comment.

Service: I was escorted from the front desk on the first floor to the Executive Lounge on the third floor for check-in. It was quiet and efficient; I just sat comfortably and waited. The staff on this floor were noticeably a cut above – all tall, beautiful, and with lovely voices. They could all provide service in three languages, and their Cantonese was perfectly modulated, soft and soothing, truly melting your heart. While I was in a blissful daze, the staff even arranged a room upgrade and late check-out for me – super happy! 🥳
On the night of check-in, they gave us a welcome gift and a handwritten card as a small anniversary present. 🥰🥰🥰
Perhaps due to the late check-out service, the room card's magnetic strip had a slight issue, but it was resolved quickly and smoothly – excellent job!
Every staff member I encountered, at all levels, had genuinely radiant smiles, not forced at all. The entire team is well-trained, and the salaries and benefits must be good around here – truly living up to the 'White Swan' name. ☺️
Dual Executive Lounge Privileges: By the time we checked in, it was past afternoon tea, so we enjoyed the evening cocktail hour. There was a variety of basic mixes, and they could even make non-alcoholic versions for ladies and children. Besides small snacks, there were various Western appetizers, nuts, cookies, and cheese to pair with red wine. Vegetable salads and fruits were also available, along with Chinese dishes like chicken wings and braised ox tongue – you could easily have a full meal! 🤣 Unfortunately, we only had a little bite before heading to the pool.
Cleanliness: All mirrors and metal surfaces in the room were sparkling clean, the bathtub was spotless, and the bedding was soft and comfortable.
Facilities: The heated infinity pool has an accompanying hot tub and changing rooms with showers. The large towels were clean and soft. Right next to it is the spa, separated for men and women, with both dry and wet saunas. There are attendants to guide and introduce you, so you won't feel lost.
What's particularly worth mentioning is the landscaping. The gardeners have meticulously trimmed and maintained all the flowers and trees. The plants are thriving and blooming, with no obvious signs of being haphazardly planted and replaced when they die. Especially those very old staghorn ferns – their blossoms smell wonderful, giving a full tropical vibe. The Koi pond's water quality is excellent, and the fish are healthy and lively!

Now for some constructive feedback. Due to renovations in the Western restaurant on the second floor, breakfast was moved to the Chinese restaurant on the fifth floor. Perhaps because it's primarily a Cantonese cuisine venue, they lack experience with Western food. The breakfast quality has noticeably declined; both the variety, quantity, and quality are inferior to what was offered in the second-floor Western restaurant. While items like bread, salads, and beverages are the same as before, subtle aspects like display, heating, and replenishment are far worse than in the Western restaurant. Moreover, the restaurant staff are accustomed to the a la carte service style of Cantonese cuisine and struggle to keep up with the fast-paced nature of a Western buffet. Tables aren't cleared promptly after guests leave, making it difficult for new customers to find a seat. To prepare for lunch after 10 AM, the staff were busy clearing and setting up tablecloths and cutlery for Chinese meals, seemingly disregarding the breakfast guests. The clearing and replacement of cutlery were quick and rough, and the constant clatter was quite irritating.

Must-Know Tips for Guangzhou Transport
- Use the metro for most sightseeing trips because it is fast, affordable, and connected to major attractions.
- Download Alipay, DiDi, and Amap before arriving. Google Maps and Grab may not work reliably in mainland China.
- Save your hotel name, address, and destinations in Chinese to show taxi drivers.
