the most affordable and safest way to get from Guangzhou Airport to the city area?

Hello, during your arrival, several shuttle bus lines are still in service, like line 1 and line 5, which won't stop running until the arrival of the last flight. Just choose a suitable one according to your destination. It is quite safe. If you wanna save time, taxi can be your choice as well. If you don't have many luggages, the driver may allow five of you in.
