Online Ticket for Ferry from Nansha Port to HK China Ferry Terminal
Hi, I should be grateful if anyone can tell me whether it is now possible to buy in advance online ferry ticket from Nansha to HK. I am planning to fly into Guangzhou in mid February of this year on a visa-free 144 hour basis, and so I am hoping to be able to book my ferry ticket before arriving in China, so that I have my transit to Hong Kong already arranged. Is there a ferry company website from which online tickets can be purchased and, if so, does it have the facility to be translated into English? Thanks.

You can take a ferry from Pazhou Ferry Terminal to HK. However, you should get the terminal at least 210-300 minutes in advance before your flight departure according to different airlines. Generally, it takes about 2 hours to get to the airport and costs CNY 360.

It will arrive at Lianhuashan Port. Take bus no.Pan148 to Yongwang Mengyue Cheng Bus Stop. Then take metro line 3 to West Tiyu Road, Exit D. Take bus no.B12 to Guangzhou Avenue Middle Bus Stop.
After arriving, walk north around 50 mins to find your hotel.

As I know, the online booking page only has Chinese version. Thus you can ask help for the hotel staff. Or you should get to the ferry terminal earlier in the morning.

Hi,
we want to travel from GZ to Hong Kong on saturday, 1st of September 2018 - is there a ship from GZ to China Hong Kong City Port, Victoria Harbour, Kowloon or Macau Ferry Terminal in Hong Kong? Is it really running daily? On lhsgp.com I cannot find it.
And does it start from Lianhuashan Port or from Nansha Passenger Port? We arrive via Train in GZ.
Thank you so much for any reliable Information.

It’s more convenient for you to take a train from GZ East Station to HK.
