If there's any train/subway to the city, I would like to know as well.
As far as I know there's none, that's why I'm still taking the buses when I'm there.

Come on...Just spent some time...do some research....How can you people go Vacation without studying the places first?

Guangzhou such a big city...almost more advance than Kuala Lumpur...such big and advance city how can it no subway at all?

Alamak, I thought can visit The Great Wall if I go Guangzhou sad.gif

Looks like I have to re-route my plan.

Original was something like this... 10 days
GZ --> Dongguan--> HK --> Macau --> Zhongshan --> GZ (take flight)

or, is it too idealistic to execute the plan?

Or, should I plan .... go upnorth?

You should put HK and Macau at first. then China at last or all China part at first then HK & Macau at last
Once you leave China you need Visa to re-entry again. Unless you got multi entry China Visa

I'm joining a private historical tour to a less visited part of Guangdong with 40+ others, some Westerners. For the part I'm involved, the suggested driver's gratuity is 200 yuan for the two days.  Also the same for the guide-interpreter, so 400 total per person. I'm also covering for two young relatives.

Is this amount too much or too little? I have not been on a China tour for over a decade so would appreciate your opinions.

China tour guide or driver no need pay any gratuity.
Because they earn commission from restaurant he bring you and tons of shopping stop.

You no need China Visa for doing Transit at China Airport.
BTW, you also can apply 24 Hours Transit Visa Free Program so you can go sightseeing Guangzhou too. if your transit time are long enough.

Does anybody know whether can still buy SIM cards at the airport. Last week in China I cannot buy a SIM card anywhere without a China ID.

Traveler should able buy Sim Card by showing Passport.
Aim for those phone shop inside Airport, not those small kiosk / booth.

Nope. No more at Shenzhen airport. In town agents in malls say passport not enough. Wondering if the same at Baiyun.

The Unicom looks pretty convenient except it is in USD$ so about 4 times what the others cost so you've got to really make use of it. Not clear whether it has a local Chinese number and can make direct outgoing voice calls.

On customize site, it got talk & text section.....of course have to add more money biggrin.gif
If got talk & text means you got your own local number.

On website, it got refill + keep # for future if you wanted used same # again......but everything also need pay
