You can check around. Never tried that though. I went to gz via hkia.
Gz taxis most are run by meter. I only taken once on my last trip there. That was in the morning.
The driver kind of know which small roads to take to avoid the jam.

Thanks for your reply.
I did a baidu search, there is a airport transport from Baiyun to east station but the last bus leaves at 1AM, too rush for me as I need to clear custom plus finding the right place to take the last bus. I will take taxi in this case after my rescan in baidu. Thanks again

The last time I asked my private driver (arranged by an agent) to go to super8 hotel along airport road. I paid extra for that.
I am exploring taking public transport for my next trip.

From airport to east station, just take cab from airport, ok one. Can note down the cab car plate if you want. if really scare then booked a car off ctrip.
if day time take train is also ok, travel time almost same as cab, but 7 yuan.

bro, point to note, always try to seat at the front seat when taking taxi in GZ, they will not play around with u if you seat at the front. only tourist like to seat at the back seat, most locals will seat in front. there are also officers stationed at the taxi stand. you can check with them if you are unsure of where you are going. If you got luggage to store at the boot and you are alone, dun pay the taxi driver 1st unless the hotel got bellboy to help you unload your luggage. and lastly, try to take red or blue taxi, I personally feel safer with these 2 companies. unless you go to ulu ulu places in gz, you should be safe here.

Bro, there is always a last bus from baiyun airport to the main railway station. The bus will only leave the airport when there is not more arrival flight. So, if you are taking jetstar and tiger, can always hop into this last bus. It is very easy to find the bus, it is just outside the airport arrival door.

It is bus Line 1. There are a few stops before reaching the main train station, you can choose to alight in any of the stops and take cab to east railway station. I personally feel that the cab in the city is more trustworthy. The ones at the airport will usually ask for an inflated flat rate at that hour.

Also, can I have the MMS Weixin contact as we'll. thanks.

Hi Bro,

Sorry, been a long time since I log in.

No.9 Spa used to have a website but today when I goggle it, it is no longer in use. But I do believe that No.9 spa is still around.

You can click on the link below for the address.

https://www.google.com.sg/?gfe_rd=cr...%8C%E9%A 6%86

From this map you can see how close it is to GuangZhou East Railway station
https://www.google.com.sg/maps/place...3f5b791a698c82

And also on foursquare

https://foursquare.com/v/%E4%B9%9D%E...a3ef8bf1624138

I landed in the wee hours, took a taxi to No.9 Spa. If taxi driver don't know, just tell them its next to 广州东站 Guangzhou East railway station.

You need to register with your passport to gain entry into the spa. Take the lift outside the shopping centre 中泰国际广场 straight to the spa entrance. So you can be sure that you will be able to gain access even though it's the wee hours.

After the massage, you can request to sleep in the room until you want to leave.

With regards to Taxi from Baiyun to Guangzhou East Station, you should take the train as it is cheap and about same travelling time. Unless you are landing in the wee hours, then you can take the taxi.

Taxi services, I always follow the line for those taxi drivers who bothered to queue to fetch passengers. Fare is around 150RMB or less.

There are some drivers who didn't queue and try to tout me, and those they are non-taxi but will send you to your destination for a price but I didn't try.

It's like in Singapore, sometimes the taxi drivers have to queue up to hours to wait for their turn to fetch passengers. So I doubt they will do any funny thing to you.

Jetstar no longer fly to Guangzhou anymore. Only budget flying from SIN to GZ is Tiger Air.

Jetstar used to have fabulous fare. S$190 return ticket w/o meal, w/o seats pre selection and w/o check in bag.

One thing good about Guangzhou Baiyun Airport is the cheap and efficient Metro train located in the basement.

From Guangzhou Baiyun Airport I alight at Guangzhou East Station and take the CRH train to Changping Station.
Total travel time within 2 hours at minimal costs!

From the moment I land in Guangzhou Baiyun Airport to the moment I step into Changping KTV flower street is no more than 3 hours!
That was back in the good old days of course.
Now Changping market crash liao!

THanks, not that urgent as I push back my trip to dec.
