Nanning Transportation -- Getting There

Nanning Wuxu International Airport (NNG) is located in Wuxu Town, about 31 kilometers (19 miles) southwest from the city proper. Since its opening, Wuxu Airport has reached a capacity of some 2.5 million passengers each year and can handle 15 large passenger airliners at one time. Advanced technology, including radar system, VOR system and blind landing greatly ensure flight safety while sound freight transit facilities make passengers' trips easier.

Other airlines to northern and eastern China are under consideration now.

For passengers' convenience, the airport manages shuttle buses to the city according to the arrival time of each flight.

Nanning is 15 hours away from Guangzhou by train and about 10 hours by long-distance bus. Or you can travel by air.

Dear All,

I'm going to travel to Guang Zhou, Dong Guan and Shenzhen next summer.
I have a hotel voucher for 02 nights at Sheraton DongGuan but the I prefer to travel to Guangzhou and Shenzhen much more.
As I know that DongGuan is between GuangZhou and ShenZhen, so with a 5 days trip, how can I travel to both of them and stay 2 nights at DongGuan??? I realize that maybe I can stay 01 night at Guang Zhou and 01 night at Shenzhen if needed.
Please tell me what is the convenience way to travel all of them????
And how can I get to Guanzhou with the cheapest and shortest???
Thanks

Mr.Sandy replied:

Guangzhou is within a hour by bus from Dongguan and it is about one hour or so form Dongguan to Shenzhen. This is by bus. It is faster to travel by train, about half a hour, but it is more convenient and cheaper to travel by bus. Latest bus back from Guangzhou is at 8pm. If you want to go back to Dongguan, get to Tianhe BUs Station or Guangdong Provincial Bus station to Dongguan. Last bus from Shenzhen leaves around 9pm from Luohu Bus Station.

Mr.Manny replied:

It takes about 2.5 hours from Nanning to Liuzhou. The cost is about 50yuan. Children lower than 120cn is free of charge and pay half of the price if 120cm-150cm. I have no idea how it is executed in Nanning's bus stations. You can ask when you buy the ticket.

Hi Lila, the train from Guangzhou to Nanning takes about 13 hours, and the last one leaves at 21:06 everyday. On the other hand, the last flight from Guangzhou to Nanning also leaves at 20:20 on Dec 2. So, you should stay one night in Guangzhou, or change another flight to arrive at Guangzhou earlier.

Actually, it is suggested that you fly to Guangzhou firstly and then go to Nanning by flight as well, vice versa. I don't think you could purchase the train ticket to Nanning on the spot.
