If I depart from Foshan, which transportation i should use for visiting Shantou?

You can take a bus to ST from Foshan Bus Station at No. 6, Middle Fenjiang Road. The buses are scheduled at 10:30, 12:20, 16:30, and 18:30. The trip takes about 6 hours. The fare is CNY 150-160. Upon arrival, take a taxi to your exact destination.

Or, you may take a bus to Guangzhou South Railway Station. Next, take a bullet train to Chaoyang (about 2.5 hours). Then, take bus line 311 to Chaonan District.
