I'm not very sure. The tracking website says it is being transited. Since it doesn't move for a long time, it may be impounded by customs.

Lavande Hotel Guangzhou Financial City Tianhe Park Metro Station? If yes, you can walk north about 700m to take Bus Line 53 from Sheng Rong Jun Hospital Station to Yuancun Station and then walk west about 300m to reach the market. It takes about 1 hour by bus.

There are bullet trains from HK arriving at both of the two stations, so it depends on your specific train number. Generally, more trains will stop at Guangzhou South Station. Both of the two stations are not very far from your hotel and easy to reach by metro for about 0.5 hour. So you can choose according to your timetable and convenience.

You can take Metro Line 21 to Yuancun Station and then transfer to Metro Line 5 to Guangzhou Railway Station. Get out of Exit A and then walk northeast about 1 km to reach the leather center. It takes about 45 min and costs CNY 5 per person.
