Vuoi organizzare il trasferimento dall'aeroporto all'hotel in anticipo?
Controlla il tuo terminal: T1, T2 o T3
L'Aeroporto Internazionale di Guangzhou Baiyun opera ora con tre terminal.
Non pianificare il trasporto dall'aeroporto basandoti solo sul codice dell'aeroporto. Controlla il terminal indicato sulla tua prenotazione del volo o sulla notifica della compagnia aerea.
Le assegnazioni dei terminal possono cambiare man mano che le compagnie aeree si spostano tra T1, T2 e T3.
| Principale collegamento ferroviario | Punto chiave | |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | Aeroporto Sud - Linea 3 della Metropolitana | Accesso diretto alla metropolitana |
| T2 | Aeroporto Nord - Linea 3 della Metropolitana | Accesso diretto alla metropolitana |
| T3 | Stazione est dell'aeroporto di Baiyun — ferrovia interurbana del Guangdong | Ferrovia interurbana diretta; la Linea 3 della metropolitana richiede un'altra connessione |
T3 è stato ufficialmente inaugurato nell'ottobre 2025 e da allora ha accolto un traffico nazionale e internazionale sostanziale.
Conferma sempre il tuo terminal attuale con la compagnia aerea perché le assegnazioni dei terminal possono cambiare.
Stato attuale (maggio 2026): Le linee guida ufficiali del municipio di Guangzhou stabiliscono che dal 7 maggio 2026, le compagnie aeree passeggeri che operavano in precedenza dal T1 si sono trasferite al T3, e il T1 è entrato in fase di ristrutturazione e non è aperto ai passeggeri durante tale periodo. L'accesso alla metropolitana Airport South e alla stazione interurbana Baiyun Airport South (T1) è temporaneamente non disponibile. Conferma il terminal del tuo biglietto prima di viaggiare.
Non seguire una vecchia guida della metropolitana dell'aeroporto di Guangzhou
Le vecchie guide dell'aeroporto di Guangzhou sono state scritte quando l'aeroporto di Baiyun aveva solo il T1 e il T2.
Queste guide spesso dicono:
"Prendi direttamente la Linea 3 della metropolitana dall'aeroporto."
Questo è ancora corretto per il T1 e il T2.
Non è la risposta completa per il T3.
Il T3 ha la stazione di Baiyun Airport East sulla rete ferroviaria interurbana del Guangdong. Se desideri specificamente la Linea 3 della metropolitana, hai bisogno di una connessione aggiuntiva.
Opzioni di trasferimento dall'aeroporto di Guangzhou a confronto
La scelta pratica dipende dal tuo terminal, dalla destinazione, dai bagagli e dall'orario di arrivo.
| T1 | T2 | T3 | Servizio porta a porta? | Ideale per | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Linea 3 della metropolitana | Diretto | Diretto | Richiede una coincidenza | No | Viaggio economico verso Tianhe / rete metropolitana |
| Ferrovia interurbana del Guangdong | Disponibile tramite la rete aeroportuale | Disponibile tramite la rete aeroportuale | Diretto all'aeroporto di Baiyun East | No | Ferrovia veloce per destinazioni selezionate di Guangzhou / GBA |
| Taxi ufficiale | Sì | Sì | Sì | Sì | Trasferimento diretto e semplice in hotel |
| DiDi / ride-hailing | Sì | Sì | Sì | Sì | Viaggiatori a proprio agio nell'usare un'app |
| Trasferimento privato | Sì | Sì | Sì | Sì | Gruppi, bagagli, arrivi in ritardo, programmi di lavoro |
| Navetta aeroportuale | Sì | Sì | Sì | Di solito no | Destinazioni servite da un percorso conveniente |
I trasporti pubblici sono generalmente la scelta più economica.
Taxi, DiDi e il trasferimento privato diventano più utili quando l'hotel finale è scomodo da raggiungere con i mezzi pubblici, quando si hanno bagagli ingombranti o quando si deve effettuare un'altra fermata dopo l'aeroporto.
From Guangzhou Baiyun Airport T1
Terminal 1 has direct access to Guangzhou Metro Line 3 through Airport South Station.
Current status note
Official Guangzhou municipal guidance (May 2026) states that passenger airlines previously operating from T1 relocated to T3 from 7 May 2026, and T1 entered renovation and is not open to passengers during that works period. Metro Airport South and intercity Baiyun Airport South (T1) access are temporarily unavailable while renovation continues.
Confirm the terminal on your current ticket. The Line 3 / Airport South layout below describes T1 when that terminal is in passenger service.
T1 Option 1: Metro Line 3
Follow the signs inside T1 to Airport South Station and take the Line 3 north extension toward central Guangzhou.
Current airport guidance gives approximately 35–40 minutes to Guangzhou East Railway Station or Tiyu Xilu, with a fare of roughly 7–8 RMB depending on the destination.
Line 3 is particularly useful for Tianhe and for connecting into the wider Guangzhou Metro network.
Best for:
- Solo travelers
- Couples with manageable luggage
- Daytime arrivals
- Hotels convenient from the metro
- Travelers heading toward Tianhe
Less convenient for:
- Several large suitcases
- Families managing children and luggage
- Hotels requiring several transfers
- Arrivals after normal metro service
Check the current Guangzhou Metro timetable on your travel date.
T1 Option 2: Taxi or DiDi
Official taxis and licensed ride-hailing services provide direct transport from T1 to your destination.
Follow the airport signs to the official taxi area or the designated ride-hailing pickup location.
As a general airport reference, current Baiyun Airport guidance gives roughly 80–120 RMB for a taxi journey to the Tianhe Sports Center area.
This is not a fixed airport fare.
Actual taxi cost depends on:
- destination
- distance
- traffic
- time of day
- applicable fare adjustments and surcharges
From Guangzhou Baiyun Airport T2
Terminal 2 has direct Metro Line 3 access through Airport North Station.
T2 Option 1: Metro Line 3
From T2, follow the signs to Airport North Station and take Metro Line 3 toward Tiyu Xilu.
Current airport guidance gives approximately 35–40 minutes to Guangzhou East Railway Station or Tiyu Xilu and a fare of roughly 7–8 RMB depending on the destination.
For many Tianhe hotels and central metro connections, this is the simplest low-cost option.
Do not claim every central Guangzhou destination is direct on Line 3.
Some require another metro connection.
T2 Option 2: Taxi or DiDi
Taxi and DiDi provide direct airport-to-hotel transport without a rail transfer.
Use official taxi ranks or the designated ride-hailing pickup areas shown by airport signs and the app.
Current Baiyun Airport guidance gives roughly 80–120 RMB to the Tianhe Sports Center area as a general taxi reference.
Actual fares vary.
From Guangzhou Baiyun Airport T3
Terminal 3 has a different rail setup from T1 and T2.
Baiyun Airport East Station is directly integrated into the T3 transportation center and connects the terminal to the Guangdong intercity railway network.
T3 Option 1: Guangdong Intercity Railway
For many T3 passengers, the intercity railway should be the first rail option to check.
Baiyun Airport East Station is located inside the T3 transportation center, allowing passengers to reach the station without first transferring to another airport terminal.
Current official airport guidance gives one useful reference:
T3 / Baiyun Airport East → Keyun Road approximately 24 minutes approximately 19 RMB
Keyun Road is in Tianhe and can be useful for onward connections within eastern Guangzhou.
The Guangdong intercity network also connects Baiyun Airport with other Guangzhou and Greater Bay Area stations.
However, service patterns and stopping patterns change.
Check the current Guangdong Intercity / Railway 12306 schedule for your destination and travel date.
T3 Option 2: Connect to Metro Line 3
T3 does not currently use the same direct Line 3 airport station arrangement as T1 and T2.
Current official guidance provides two practical connection methods:
- Use the airport / intercity connection to Baiyun Airport North at T2, then transfer to Metro Line 3.
- Use the T3 connection toward Gaozeng and continue by metro.
The exact connection arrangement may change as Guangzhou's airport rail network develops.
Do not describe T3 as having its own direct Line 3 station.
T3 Option 3: Taxi, DiDi or Private Transfer
Taxi, DiDi and private vehicles can pick up from designated T3 transport areas.
For travelers heading directly to a hotel, carrying several bags or continuing into business meetings, road transport avoids the additional rail connection.
Current T3 guidance places ride-hailing pickup within the P12 transportation / parking complex and provides dedicated taxi pickup areas at the terminal.
Airport pickup arrangements can change. Follow current airport signs and app instructions.
Metro and Intercity Rail Explained
Guangzhou Baiyun Airport now has two different types of urban / regional rail that travelers may encounter.
Guangzhou Metro
For T1 and T2, Metro Line 3 provides the familiar airport-to-city service through:
Airport South — T1
and:
Airport North — T2
Metro works particularly well for central Guangzhou destinations connected to the city subway network.
Guangdong Intercity Railway
The Guangdong intercity network is a separate rail system connecting Baiyun Airport with Guangzhou transport hubs and other Greater Bay Area destinations.
T3's Baiyun Airport East Station is directly integrated into this network.
Do not describe Guangdong Intercity simply as another Guangzhou Metro line.
They are different systems.
Going Beyond Central Guangzhou?
The intercity railway network makes Baiyun Airport increasingly useful for travelers continuing toward other parts of Guangzhou and the Greater Bay Area.
Current services connect the airport network toward places including:
- Panyu / Guangzhou South area - Pazhou - Foshan - Dongguan - other Guangdong intercity destinations
Actual through services vary by timetable.
Check the current train before travel.
Private Airport Transfer from Guangzhou Baiyun Airport
A pre-booked private transfer is useful when you want the airport pickup arranged before landing rather than deciding between rail, taxi and ride-hailing after arrival.
It becomes more useful with several suitcases, children, senior travelers, larger groups, late arrivals, business schedules or additional stops after the airport.
DragonTrail's private-driver service is vehicle + driver with English-language coordination.
Do not assume that every driver speaks fluent English.
A licensed sightseeing guide or interpreter is separate unless specifically included.
See Guangzhou Private Driver Vehicles & Rates →
Taxi vs DiDi vs Private Transfer
All three can provide door-to-door transportation.
The main difference is how the ride is arranged.
| Official Taxi | DiDi | Pre-Booked Private Transfer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Booking | Join official airport queue | Book after arrival in app | Arranged before arrival |
| Price | Metered | App estimate / quoted fare | Fixed quote before booking |
| Destination | Show address to driver | Enter in app | Confirmed before arrival |
| Pickup | Official taxi area | Designated ride-hailing area | Confirmed pickup instructions |
| English coordination | Usually limited | App reduces language issue | DragonTrail coordinates in English |
| Best for | Simple direct ride | App-comfortable traveler | Groups, luggage, late arrivals, business schedules |
For a straightforward airport-to-hotel journey, an official taxi or DiDi may be completely sufficient.
A pre-booked private vehicle becomes more useful when the airport transfer is the first part of a larger schedule — for example meetings, Canton Fair, company visits, luggage-heavy group travel or several stops.
Guangzhou taxis use a regulated fare structure rather than a fixed airport fare.
Current Guangzhou taxi rules use a base fare structure beginning at:
12 RMB for the first 3 kilometers
with distance, waiting, long-distance and night charges applying according to the current tariff.
Use the official airport's approximate destination references where helpful and clearly treat them as estimates. Do not calculate an exact airport-to-hotel fare from the base-fare formula alone.
Late-Night Arrivals at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport
Do not assume the metro or intercity railway will still be operating when a late international flight clears immigration and baggage claim.
After normal rail hours, the practical options are usually:
- official taxi
- DiDi or another licensed ride-hailing service
- pre-booked private transfer
- airport bus where a current route serves your destination
Baiyun Airport operates overnight airport-bus services on selected routes, including services toward central Guangzhou and Tianhe.
Routes and departure times change.
Check the current Baiyun Airport Express information for your arrival date rather than relying on an old timetable.

Airport Transfer to Popular Guangzhou Areas
The most practical transfer depends on your final district and terminal.
| Destination | Practical options |
|---|---|
| Tianhe / Tiyu Xilu | T1/T2 Line 3; T3 intercity + local connection; taxi, DiDi or private transfer |
| Guangzhou East Railway Station | T1/T2 Line 3; T3 rail connection + onward transport; road transfer |
| Zhujiang New Town | Rail + metro connection, or direct road transfer |
| Beijing Road / Yuexiu | Metro connection, airport bus where convenient, or direct road transfer |
| Pazhou / Canton Fair area | Intercity / metro depending on terminal and route, or direct road transfer |
| Guangzhou South Railway Station | Intercity / metro connection depending on terminal, or direct road transfer |
| Hotel with several large bags | Taxi, DiDi or private transfer |
Going Directly to the Canton Fair?
Airport-to-Pazhou transportation is covered here only at a basic level.
Exhibition days create additional questions such as:
- Canton Fair venue entrance - registration timing - luggage - traffic - hotel location - waiting vehicle - return schedule
Those will be covered in a dedicated Canton Fair Transportation Guide when published. This airport guide does not replace that page.
Payment, Apps and Practical Arrival Tips
Save the destination in Chinese
Keep your hotel or destination's Chinese name and full address on your phone.
This is useful when taking a taxi.
Use DiDi for digital destination entry
DiDi allows the destination to be entered in the app and provides vehicle / license-plate information after a driver accepts.
Do not assume the driver speaks English.
Set up Alipay before arrival
International travelers can use Alipay for many transportation and payment functions in Guangzhou.
Check the terminal before pickup
A pickup instruction for T1 is not the same as T2 or T3.
Always send:
- flight number
- arrival date
- terminal if known
For a pre-arranged transfer, DragonTrail should verify the operating terminal from the flight information.
Use current airport signs
Taxi and ride-hailing pickup areas can change as Baiyun Airport continues adapting its three-terminal operation.
Follow current airport signs and app instructions.
What If You Are at the Wrong Terminal?
Baiyun Airport provides inter-terminal connections between T1, T2 and T3.
A free airport shuttle operates between the terminals, and rail connections are also available within the airport transport network.
Do not assume that walking between terminals is practical.
If you are departing:
check the correct terminal before leaving Guangzhou.
If you arrive at a different terminal than expected:
follow the airport's current transfer signs before arranging onward transportation.

Domande frequenti sul trasferimento dall'aeroporto di Guangzhou
- L'Aeroporto Internazionale di Guangzhou Baiyun utilizza il codice CAN. L'aeroporto ora ha tre terminal passeggeri — T1, T2 e T3 — quindi verifica il tuo terminal oltre al codice dell'aeroporto prima di pianificare il trasporto.
- Sì, ma la risposta dipende dal terminal. T1 è collegato direttamente con la stazione sud dell'aeroporto sulla Linea 3 della metropolitana, mentre T2 è collegato con la stazione nord dell'aeroporto sulla Linea 3. T3 ha la stazione ferroviaria interurbana di Baiyun Airport East e richiede un ulteriore collegamento se si desidera specificamente la Linea 3 della metropolitana.
- Da T1 o T2, la Linea 3 della metropolitana offre un collegamento ferroviario diretto verso la stazione ferroviaria est di Guangzhou e Tiyu Xilu, con le attuali indicazioni dell'aeroporto che stimano un tempo di percorrenza di circa 35-40 minuti e un costo di circa 7-8 RMB a seconda della destinazione. Da T3, un'altra opzione utile è il servizio ferroviario interurbano del Guangdong, che include il servizio verso Keyun Road.
- La Baiyun Airport East Station è direttamente integrata con il Terminal 3 e si collega alla rete ferroviaria interurbana del Guangdong. Sono disponibili anche taxi, DiDi, autobus aeroportuali e transfer privati. Se si desidera specificamente la Linea 3 della Metro, è necessaria una connessione aggiuntiva.
- Sì. I viaggiatori internazionali possono utilizzare servizi di ride-hailing come DiDi, e inserendo la destinazione digitalmente si riduce la necessità di spiegare l'indirizzo verbalmente. Segui le istruzioni dell'aeroporto per il ritiro dei passeggeri dei servizi di ride-hailing per il tuo terminal.
- Le indicazioni attuali per l'Aeroporto di Baiyun suggeriscono una tariffa approssimativa di 80–120 RMB per raggiungere l'area del Centro Sportivo Tianhe come riferimento generale. Questa non è una tariffa fissa. I taxi a Guangzhou utilizzano il tassametro e il prezzo finale dipende dalla distanza, dal traffico, dall'orario e dalla struttura tariffaria regolamentata corrente.
- Per molti viaggiatori in partenza dal Terminal 1 e dal Terminal 2 con bagagli gestibili, la Linea 3 è una scelta conveniente e a basso costo. Il Terminal 3 ha un sistema ferroviario diverso, e i viaggiatori lì dovrebbero considerare anche la ferrovia interurbana del Guangdong. Taxi, DiDi o trasferimenti privati possono essere più semplici quando è importante il servizio porta a porta.
- Per un semplice viaggio dall'aeroporto all'hotel, un taxi ufficiale o DiDi potrebbe essere sufficiente. Un trasferimento privato prenotato in anticipo è più utile quando si desidera che il ritiro sia organizzato prima dell'arrivo, si hanno diversi bagagli o un gruppo più grande, si arriva tardi o si hanno bisogno di fermate aggiuntive.
- Dopo la fine del servizio ferroviario normale, utilizza un taxi ufficiale, un servizio di ride-hailing con licenza, un trasferimento privato prenotato in anticipo o un percorso adeguato di autobus notturno per l'aeroporto. Controlla le informazioni attuali sul trasporto dell'Aeroporto di Baiyun perché i percorsi e gli orari degli autobus notturni possono cambiare.
- Sì. Un veicolo privato può essere prenotato per il ritiro in aeroporto seguito da incontri, esposizioni o altre fermate confermate quando il tempo di servizio richiesto e il percorso sono organizzati in anticipo.
