Hong Kong and Guangzhou are approximately a 3-hour drive apart (travel time may vary during holidays due to traffic conditions). As Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of China, traveling from Hong Kong to mainland cities like Guangzhou - or vice versa - requires passing through immigration checkpoints.
There are several transportation options between the two cities, including high-speed trains, ferries, buses, and private transfers. However, in terms of time efficiency and comfort - especially for travelers with large luggage or those attending trade fairs - a private transfer is the best choice.
ETripChina accepts both advance and last-minute bookings for seamless transfers between Hong Kong and Guangzhou, as well as surrounding cities including Shunde, Foshan, Jiangmen, Dongguan, and Zhongshan.
You're welcome to book online or contact us directly for inquiries.
Is a China visa necessary?
Please refer to the China visa exemption policy. If none of the exemption categories apply to you, you will need to apply for a China visa in advance. See more details under: China Visa Policy – Types, Application, and Exemptions.
What vehicle types are available?
Currently, only the 7-seater Toyota Alphard and 45/53-seat coaches are eligible for cross-border operation between Hong Kong and mainland China with special license plates.
How do I meet the driver?
Airport Pickup: The Alphard transfer service is personalized based on your actual landing time. The driver will meet you at the arrival hall, right outside the baggage claim area.
Hotel/Private Address Pickup: The driver will arrive at the appointed time. Please stay in touch via WeChat or WhatsApp, as most hotels in Hong Kong only allow temporary drop-off/pick-up.
What is the luggage allowance?
The 7-seat Toyota Alphard can accommodate:
6 pieces of 22-inch luggage, or
4 pieces of 24-inch luggage, or
2 pieces of 28-inch luggage (when all seats are occupied)
A 53-seat coach can hold up to 40 pieces of luggage (each under 26 inches) in its trunk.
How many passengers can ride?
The Toyota Alphard allows a maximum of 6 passengers, including infants. Please note that pregnant women are not permitted to travel in Alphard vans due to immigration regulations.
Is there an immigration check?
Yes. Immigration clearance is required at both the Hong Kong Port and Shenzhen Port. If traveling by Alphard, passengers only need to disembark once at the Shenzhen Port for customs inspection, along with all their luggage.
Will there be a language barrier?
Our drivers speak Mandarin and Cantonese. An English-speaking staff member will coordinate your transfer from pickup to drop-off. If needed, an English-speaking driver can be arranged at an extra cost with advance booking.
How can I communicate with you?
You can reach us by email, phone, WeChat, or WhatsApp. (Note: WhatsApp does not work in mainland China unless a VPN is used.)
