 Look how nice and clean this
subway station is! by Confucius
It's very useful if your hotel is located next to a subway station. I always stay at a hotel located next to Ximenkou station, just one stop away from where the two main lines intersect.
When riding the subway it is best to use the one yuan coins. You should always at least have some 10 yuan notes with you which can also be used in the token machines. Most rides are either 2 or 3 yuan depending on whether you go a distance of 3 or 6 stations. I seldom paid more than 4 yuan to go anywhere I wanted to visit in Guangzhou, and that's a nice little savings over taxis which start at 7 yuan.
The subway is still relatively new, clean and well maintained. The frequency is about 3 minutes and it's not impossible to find a seat.
Popular tourist stops accesible by subway line include Chen Jia Ci (Chen Family Academy) and Yuexiu Park. On rainy days the subway is wonderful for reaching underground shopping emporiums. My favorite one is located at Martyrs Memorial Garden (Lie Shi Ling Yuan), where there is also a JUSCO supermarket that attracts local celebrities. Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

This is probably one of the fastest and easiest ways to get around Guangzhou. The metro is modern and clean, much like the metro stations in other major citites. The signs are written in both Chinese and Pinyin. It is easy to navigate.
You have to purchase tokens from machines in order to ride the metro. If you don't have change, you can goto one of the booths and they will give you change. However, they don't sell tickets.
It is very convienent since it connects to the main bus station and train station, Guangzhou Dong Zhan (translated as Guangzhou East Train Station). This helps getting in and out of Guangzhou so much easier!!! Leave a Comment

Guangzhou Subway is quite good and getting to places of interest, shopping, food outlets is very easy. Fares are reasonable.
The newest train has route map within the carriages and lights indicators on the route map to show the location of the train in relation to the station and the tunnel. Great works. The older train doesn't have this feature.
Addition of subway screen door at the platform level is on-going in some stations but is place is very neat and tidy without obstructions.
Tokens can be purchased through ticket vending machines with instructions in English and Chinese. You tap the token on the turnstile to enter the paid area and slot the token into the exit barrier to exit the station.
At the exit point, some lights doesn't light up when you slot in the token and you would have to pay attention to listen for the blip sound in the mist of all other blip sound from other turnstile.
All exit point at labelled with station's direction boards in English and Chinese.
Good mode of transportation if you are travelling in group of more than 4 persons. Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro
