Hello MANISH，
We have no information on the sharing taxi from Baiyun airport to Shenzhen. You may use the cheap public transport + train if you don’t have a tight schedule.
First take the airport express shuttle bus from Baiyun airport to Guangzhou railway station （广州火车站） and buy the high-speed train ticket for Shenzhen ( plentiful trains!)
Total cost: 16 + 99.5 (first class) = RMB 115.5
Please remember you go to the right train station: Guangzhou Railway Station ( not the east station, not the north station, not the south station).
Just for your reference. Have a good transfer!

Hello Sir Daniel~
Thx for the reply. I also want to know if it is hard to get a taxi after an event in GISA? It is my frist time to watch a concert there, so I need t know. Is it also possible in Guangzhou to hire a taxi to take me to GISA and back to my hotel after the concert or i just hire a car rental service? Thx
Hello Ah Fung,
Sorry for our delayed answer due to the absence of the internet! Basically, easier to go to GISA by taxi, but a little difficult to take a taxi back from GISA. If you hire a taxi or rent a private car, the cost will be much higher. If you are not pressed for time, it is advisable to wait patiently for a possible taxi. Have a good time!

Hello Leen,
At such hours, the airport shuttle doesn’t run. You may take a taxi and each taxi is required to use a meter. Most of the local taxi drivers are willing to use a meter since it is fair to both sides. Have a nice trip!
Hello,
Hope you can help me.
I will be arriving Baiyun Airport at 2am in the morning and I need to travel to Furtuna Hotel in Lecong.
Can I take a taxi from the airport? How much does it cost?
I had have bad experience when taking a taxi from Guangzhou to Foshan. The taxi driver charged me 150 yuan and dropped me outside Foshan saying his Guangzhou taxi cannot enter Foshan. He also exchanged fake money to me.
Thank you
Hello Alan,
Sorry for the bad guys in the taxi team of Guangzhou. Just keep on guide and protect yourself from taxi scams. Do you mean Foshan Fortuna Hotel? It is located about 65 km south of Baiyun Airport. Taking a taxi to Foshan is expensive, costing you about RMB 210 ( just for your reference).
Basically, the Foshan taxis charge more than Guangzhou taxi, so try to use Gangzhou taixs. Have a good luck!
In Guangzhou, after 30km, you have to pay 50% more for the taxi returning empty.
