Hopefully you are arriving in Guangzhou International earlier in the day, and out on the sidewalk before 9 p.m. Soon as you exit the door, turn right, go to the last shuttle bus stop. That stop is #1. Verify with a Chinese shuttle bus hostess with a yellow dress with a red ribbon around her shoulder. Fares is 16 Yuan. Shuttle will take you to right side of the Guangzhou Main Railway Station. You must walk 100 meters (bright lights you can see) to the city/local bus parking areas and look for a line of taxis. Should only be 10 minutes to your hotel. Fares about 30 Yuans, less than 200 Yuan direct from the airport to your hotel.
