Guangzhou Baiyun Airport (CAN), officially Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, serves Guangzhou in Guangdong, China. It spans the Baiyun and Huadu district area. Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 handle domestic and international journeys, so the destination alone does not tell you which building to use. Terminal 1 is temporarily closed for renovation. Start with the terminal on your e-ticket, then choose the rail station, bus connection or parking approach that serves that building.

Terminal 1 and transfers

Terminal 1 is temporarily closed for renovation. Airport South metro and intercity stops are closed during the works, as are car parks P1 to P4. Transfer passengers can use the shuttle between T2 and T3; check the transfer instructions for your itinerary. Intercity rail also links Baiyun Airport North for T2 with Baiyun Airport East for T3.

Getting to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport

Metro access to T2

Guangzhou Metro Line 3 serves Airport North station at T2. Plan the onward metro route to your destination in Guangzhou and check any changes before boarding. For a departure, allow time to continue from the station to the appropriate check-in area.

Reaching T3 from the metro

T3 has no direct metro station. Passengers can use a bus connection from Gaozeng station on Metro Line 3 or Line 9. Keep the bus leg in your airport travel plan rather than treating arrival at Gaozeng as arrival at the terminal.

Intercity railway

Baiyun Airport East station is beneath the T3 transport centre, while Baiyun Airport North serves T2. Choose the station for your terminal and check the current train destination and departure. The rail station names help distinguish the two airport buildings.

Buses and booked cars

Airport buses serve the T2 and T3 transport centres, with city and regional services. Confirm the destination before boarding. At T3, taxis and ride-hailing use designated pickup areas; identify the terminal when arranging a car and follow the directions for the specific pickup.

Parking and dining at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport

Parking for T2 and T3

T2 has parking lots P6, P7 and P8, accessed through its transport centre. T3 has the P11 and P12 parking buildings. Select parking for the terminal on your booking and record the vehicle location before walking in. During the T1 renovation, avoid planning around the closed P1 to P4 facilities.

Food before boarding

Dining is available in T2 and T3, including outlets beyond security. Pick a place in the terminal and passenger area you can access for your flight. Locate the route to boarding before settling down for a meal, particularly if your onward flight involves changing terminal.

Planning your departure from Guangzhou Baiyun Airport

Follow the check-in and baggage deadlines given by your airline for CAN. Build in time for the chosen rail or road journey, a bus leg when using metro access to T3, and the walk to check-in. For a connection, ask your airline about baggage collection and any further passenger checks before moving between buildings.

Consult official entry and transit guidance for your passport and international itinerary. Review your airline messages if the flight changes, and check the Traveloka flight status page for the service you booked.
