Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) serves as the city’s main international gateway and a major domestic hub for southern China, typically handling a mix of full-service carriers and regional airlines. It’s located about 28 km north of downtown Guangzhou; travel to the city center usually takes 30–50 minutes by the Guangzhou Metro Line 3 or airport express buses, with fares generally in the modest range for public transit, while taxis can take around 40–60 minutes depending on traffic and tend to be pricier. The airport typically offers a wide range of services and connections, which can be convenient for international transfers, though its size and busy terminals can mean longer walking times and occasional congestion at peak hours. Foshan Shadi Airport (FUO) is a smaller, regional option serving the Foshan area and some low-cost and regional carriers, typically positioned for domestic flights and short-haul routes. It lies roughly 30–40 km from central Guangzhou across the Pearl River Delta; typical travel times by car or shuttle can be 40–70 minutes depending on traffic, while limited public transport options can make transfers less straightforward and sometimes marginally cheaper. The airport can be a budget-friendly choice for local or regional travel and often has simpler terminals, but it usually offers fewer flight frequencies and international connections compared with Guangzhou’s main airport.
Fly direct from Guangzhou to Sanya for the quickest, most convenient way to get from the city to Hainan’s beaches — fewer delays, no layovers, and more time to relax.

The airport sits roughly 25–30 km from downtown Sanya; road transfer by taxi or rideshare can take about 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, with fares commonly in the mid-range for China. Airport shuttle buses and private transfers are also available and tend to be slightly cheaper but slower. Pros: convenient for beach resorts and well-equipped for tourists. Cons: can be busy in high season and transfer times vary with congestion.
