The subway in Guangzhou is limited at the moment with just 4 lines in operation. It costs 4 RMB to most destinations, with outlying suburbs costing 5 or 6 RMB. Right now, the subway is a great way to beat the growing Guangzhou traffic jam.

In Guangzhou subway stations, somewhere you will find a counter which is selling the single journey tickets.  Nowadays it conveniently states "Tickets" along with the Chinese.  Depending on the time of day and the station you might see a queue or maybe a "huddle".  We advise you to be a good foreign tourist and encourage the queue.

There are 4 lines for Guangzhou subway. You can take line 2 to Yuexiu Park station to the Liuhua Fair complex. And you can change lines in Tiyu XiLu between line 1 and line 3, in Gongyuanqian between line 1 and line 2, in Kecun between line 2 and line 3, in Wangshengwei between line 2 and line 4.
