Thank you for your inquiry.

You can call 020-12306 for a try, however, only Chinese language service. You can inform details about the iPad and the place you lost it. They will make a record and check for you. Or you can go to station in person and ask the information desk for help. Wish you a good luck!

Both stations are easy to reach from the hotel, but Guangzhou Station is much more closer in distance, only 2 stops from Jiniantang stop on line 2. South Station is also on line 2, opposite direction, but 13 stops away.

check out from Guangzhou airport to Guangzhou North railway station
Hi, my Singapore Airlines flight from Singapore to Guangzhou Baiyun airport is ETA 12:20 noon. Is it wise to buy train tickets for my family from Guangzhou North to GZ South, train departure at 13:58 (G6075)?

We will then take another train from GZ south on to Guilin. How much time do you suggest for train stopover at GZ south?

I think the time is not enough to catch G6075 at 13:58. You may need to prepare around 1 hour at the airport for immigration and luggage collection. And it takes around 30min to reach North station. So you do not have time for ticket collection and boarding process. I think you may consider to use metro service to GZ South directly, 1.5 hours on the way.

I am not sure which wharf you are heading too since there are two of them. But Guilin Station, the main station is the nearest one to both of them. The next one should be North Station and finally West Station. I think Zhujiang wharf is more often used for international travelers. By taxi, it should be around 45min from the main station, 50min from North Station and around 60min from West Station.
