Flight route information

Cathay Pacific offers flights to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) from Frankfurt Airport (FRA), with a layover in Hong Kong. Flights from FRA to CAN take around 13 hours, including the layover, and bring you to Terminal 1 in Guangzhou.

Upon your arrival in Guangzhou

Taxis are the most convenient way to get to the city centre from the airport as it takes approximately 40 minutes. Alternatively, you can board the Metro Line 3 train and reach downtown Guangzhou in around 40 minutes. Many buses are also available outside the airport terminal and will transport you to various destinations in the city.

A brief introduction to Guangzhou

Mesmerising history, gorgeous architecture, and appetising local cuisine await those who travel to the picturesque metropolis of Guangzhou.

Start your trip by immersing yourself in the historical side of Guangzhou, which is best experienced by visiting the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, which dates back over 100 years. The building is an architectural marvel featuring mythical decorations and is home to an intriguing array of various folk arts and crafts. From there, make your way to the Sacred Heart Cathedral, which was built in 1888 and is one of the few remaining cathedrals in the world that is constructed entirely from granite.

We also recommend visiting the beautiful Canton Tower, which is 600 metres high, making it the tallest TV tower in the world. Head up to the observation deck to get unrivalled panoramic views of the stunning skyline and shimmering Pearl River.

Food lovers will appreciate the many bars and restaurants located in Zhujiang New Town. While there, be sure to sample some of the local favourites, including ‘Har Gao’ (shrimp dumplings), ‘Kao Ru Zhu’ (roasted suckling pig), and egg tarts.

Those looking to venture outside of Guangzhou for the day should consider visiting the quaint and peaceful town of Conghua, which can be reached in approximately an hour by taxi from the city centre. Literally called “Hot Springs Town”, enjoy some rest and relaxation in rejuvenating mineral water at one of the many hot springs in the area.
