Guangzhou Airport
Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN)
Overview
Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport is located 17 miles (28km) from central Guangzhou in the southeast of China. It is one of the country's busiest airports. Flights to this airport are available from more than 100 destinations worldwide, including Tokyo, Paris, Amsterdam, Melbourne, Bangkok, Cairo, Dubai, Antananarivo, Doha, and Istanbul, in addition to many cities across China.
The facility is new and modern, but some travellers are disconcerted by the level of apparent chaos inside: food prices fluctuate according to vendor preference, poorly-ventilated smoking areas are located next to child-care rooms, and long queues are hard to escape. Luckily, the airport has been improved substantially in recent years.
