    Chimelong Advice

    Hi Guys,

    I am considering going to Chimelong later this month and need some advice.

    Which Port in Guangzhou is better to go there by Ferry ? Groupon has a offer right now selling Ferry+Hotel offer going to Shunde Port in Guangzhou.

    However when I checked online the nearest port to Chimelong is Lianhuashan and not Shunde.

    I dont want to get stuck as I dont know Chinese Language and its difficult to make people understand where we want to go.

    Can someone advice if I should go ahead and book via Shunde Port or go via Lianhuashan port? Does Chimelong Hotel have Shuttle Buses from both of these ports?

    I think Panyu would be closest ferry destination

    Are you fixed on ferry ? Another alternative is to take the KCR from Hung Hom to Guangzhou East and then the local metro from there - should be an easy solution.

    Panyu port is the Lin Hua Shan port - they are one and the same.
    The shuttles to Chimelong used to run from there (as of 1 year ago), the shuttles should still be there - best to check with the hotel.

    What makes you want to go to Shunde port? Is there anything wrong with Panyu port?

    Please read the whole thread, I have a Groupon voucher that only goes to Shunde port from HK. Panyu is not an option, just want to check if Shunde is a valid port for Shuttle Buses from the Hotel or not ?

    Sorry, missed that bit.
    In that case go to Shunde (no extra cost) and bring the name of the Hotel with you written in Chinese so you can get a cab if you run into difficulty.
    If the rep has told you there is a shuttle, I would not doubt it.
