Don't worry. The most convenient and economical way is to take airport shuttle bus. If you wanna save time, taking taxi is a suitable choice. :)

I'm afraid it is impossible for you to tour these attractions within 2 days by yourselves and booking a tour in a local travel agency is necessary for you. And the hotel you live in may help you find a good one.

The most convenient way is to take Metro Line 1 from the Railway Station to Guangxi University Station and get out of Exit H. Then walk about 300m, you can get there.
