Chimelong Hotel stands inside Chimelong Tourist Resort, No. 299 Hanxi Avenue East, Panyu District, Guangzhou — China’s 5A-rated resort quarter, plugged directly into the city by metro and into the region by high-speed rail. Getting here is the easy part; the hard part is choosing which park to start with.
By metro: the local champion
Hanxi Changlong Station (汉溪长隆) — the station named for the resort — sits on Metro Lines 3 and 7. Line 3 runs from the airport corridor through the city spine; Line 7 links directly to Guangzhou South Railway Station. From the station, the resort’s shuttle buses, a short taxi or a walk cover the last stretch. It is the arrival method locals recommend and families reuse all week.
By high-speed rail: the regional arrival
Guangzhou South Railway Station — the high-speed hub for Shenzhen, Hong Kong West Kowloon, Zhuhai and beyond — is about 11 km away, typically 20 minutes by car or one Metro Line 7 stop-hop. Travellers combining Hong Kong with Chimelong often ride West Kowloon–Guangzhou South and arrive with the day still ahead of them.
By air: the long-distance arrival
Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) sits roughly 45–50 km north — 60–75 minutes by car in normal traffic. Taxis and ride-hailing are straightforward; the metro serves the airport corridor for the budget-minded; the concierge arranges private transfers for families with luggage mountains.
