Flight route information
Cathay Pacific offers flights to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), with a layover in Hong Kong. Flights from CDG to CAN take around 13 hours 30 minutes, including the layover, and bring you to Terminal 1 in Guangzhou.
Upon your arrival in Guangzhou
We recommend taking a taxi from the airport to the city centre as you will get there in approximately 40 minutes. The Metro Line 3 trains offer another convenient route to downtown Guangzhou as it takes around 40 minutes. Alternatively, you can board one of the many local buses outside the airport terminal and get to a variety of destinations in the city.
A brief introduction to Guangzhou
A fascinating blend of old and new, Guangzhou is a bustling city awash with ancient temples, majestic architecture, and incredible cuisine.
Begin your trip by visiting the Canton Tower, which is the tallest TV tower in the world at 600 metres high. Be sure to venture up to the observation deck, where you can gaze out over the city and stunning Pearl River.
The city is also home to many traditional temples, with Guangxiao Temple and the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees being among the famous. We also recommend visiting the Sacred Heart Cathedral as it was constructed in 1888 and remains one of the few cathedrals anywhere in the world to be built entirely from granite.
Guangzhou also boasts an exceptional dining scene, which is best experienced in Zhujiang New Town as many restaurants and bars are situated here. Be sure to sample some of the local delicacies, which include ‘Har Gao’ (shrimp dumplings), ‘Kao Ru Zhu’ (roasted suckling pig), and egg tarts.
Adventure enthusiasts will appreciate Baiyun Mountain, which is just 20 minutes away from the city centre and can be explored on foot or via cable car. While here, enjoy a relaxing stroll through peaceful gardens and beautiful ponds before heading to Moxing Ridge, which is the highest point of Baiyun Mountain.
Guangzhou is also the ideal starting point for a day trip as there are many destinations to choose from, including Zhuhai. Situated approximately 90 minutes away by car, this thriving city offers a lot of memorable experiences. Start by admiring the unique architecture of A-Ma Temple, which was built in honour of Mazu - the Chinese sea goddess. From there, head to Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, which is home to a wide selection of amusement rides and a breathtaking oceanarium.
