Grateful to anyone who can advise.
Traveling from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) to Jiangmen East Railway Station can be done in a few ways, and the best option depends on your priorities for cost, convenience, and travel time.
Here are the main options:
- Didi/Taxi/Private Car: This is the most convenient and direct option, especially if you have luggage or are traveling with others. You can book a Didi or taxi directly at the airport or via the app. The journey usually takes around 1.5 to 2 hours depending on traffic. Costs can range from 200 to 300 RMB for a standard car.
- Metro + Intercity Train: For a cheaper option, you can take the Guangzhou Metro from the airport (Line 3) to Guangzhou South Railway Station and then transfer to a high-speed train to Jiangmen East. This option is economical (around 100–150 RMB total per person) but involves luggage transfers and can take 2.5 to 3 hours including waiting and transfer times.
- Airport Shuttle + Train: Some travelers use airport shuttle buses to Guangzhou South Railway Station and then continue by high-speed train. This is slightly less convenient than Didi but more comfortable than multiple metro changes.
Recommendations:
- If convenience and minimal transfers are your priority, especially with luggage, Didi or a private taxi is the best choice.
- If you want a budget-friendly option and don’t mind handling luggage and transfers, metro + high-speed train is a good alternative.
- Check train schedules in advance if choosing the metro/train route to minimize waiting times.
In summary, Didi or private car offers door-to-door service and is generally preferred for travelers with luggage or arriving late at night, while metro plus high-speed train is cheaper but requires more effort and coordination.
