Getting to CAN

Metro Line 3 North Extension runs directly to T1 and T2 from Tianhe and the city centre (30–40 min from Guangzhou East station, ¥8–10). Road traffic in Guangzhou is consistently heavy; the metro avoids it.Airport shuttle buses depart from multiple city zones including the Civil Aviation ticket office in Liuhua (¥26, 40–60 min). Taxis cost ¥80–130 from the urban core and take 40–70 minutes depending on which ring road is moving. DiDi is cheaper and widely used.

Getting from HGH

Metro Line 7 connects the airport to the city. Transfer to Line 1 or Line 2 for most central destinations including the West Lake area; total journey 60–80 minutes (¥7–10). Operating hours: 6am to 11pm.Taxis to the city centre cost ¥70–110 (metered). DiDi ride-hailing is cheaper and convenient. Airport shuttle coaches (¥20–30) run fixed routes to major hotels. Car rental is available at the terminal. Hangzhou is a 45-minute high-speed train from Shanghai Hongqiao if connecting overland.

Hangzhou Climate

Humid subtropical climate. Summers are hot and extremely humid (30–38°C) with heavy monsoon rainfall June through September. Thunderstorms and the Meiyu (plum rain) season in June cause regular delays. Typhoons from the South China Sea occasionally affect the region in August–September.

Winters are cold but rarely severe (0–8°C) with occasional frost and light snow. Spring (April–May) is rainy and foggy, which can reduce runway visibility. October and November are the most pleasant and reliable for travel.

Route data is updated regularly from official airline schedules. On-time performance data comes from recent airport delay snapshots.
High-speed rail between Guangzhou South and Hangzhou East takes 3–4 hours depending on service class, competitive with door-to-door flight time once airport check-in and transit are factored. For travelers without luggage or with city-centre origins, rail is often the practical choice.
Domestic flights from CAN including those to HGH depart from Terminal 1. Terminal 2 primarily handles international and select domestic routes; check your e-ticket to confirm, as T2 is a considerable distance from T1.
The Pearl River Delta fog season (November–February) frequently causes low-visibility delays at CAN, with some mornings seeing ground stops of 1–3 hours. Afternoon departures after 1pm tend to avoid the worst fog windows. Hangzhou's HGH is less fog-prone but can experience its own winter weather delays.

Guangzhou to Hangzhou

The CAN–HGH corridor links two of China's major commercial hubs: Guangzhou, the manufacturing and trade centre of Guangdong, and Hangzhou, the tech and e-commerce capital of Zhejiang, home to Alibaba's headquarters. Ten carriers operate the ~1.5-hour sector with over 330 weekly departures. China Southern dominates from its CAN home base, with China Eastern, Shenzhen Airlines, and several others competing.

Modal Competition and Business Demand

High-speed rail is a meaningful competitor on this ~900km corridor. The flight frequency reflects remaining air demand from business travelers and passengers originating in the outer Pearl River Delta suburbs. Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport (HGH) sits about 30km southeast of Hangzhou's city centre. Metro Line 1 connects the terminal to downtown.
