Plan around rush hour
Traffic in Guangzhou spikes 07:30–09:00 and 17:30–19:00; schedule long transfers outside these windows to save time.
Bring small cash
Many markets and street vendors prefer cash; keep some CNY 20–100 notes for purchases and tipping.
Carry a compact umbrella
Guangzhou has sudden summer downpours and occasional typhoon-related rain; a light umbrella keeps plans moving.

Expect cobbled streets, short climbs at Baiyun Mountain, and long walking blocks—supportive footwear matters.
