However, please note that there are only a few buses per day, it’s not continuous, and also the tickets are quickly sold out. And you also need to get a Didi/Taxi when arriving in Chang’an (and there may not be many taxis around).

Guangzhou Metro Airport South → Guangzhou East or South Stations → HSR to Humen → Taxi to office.

(Use the same HSR steps/prices as above.)
- You can see the GZ metro map here. GZ airport south station is at the very top of the map on line 3. You can travel to both the East and South stations, and then take the train to Humen (travelling from GZ South station is our preferred method):

Day passes: 24-houror 72-hour. Get them at machines or the customer service counter.
