What this site is, and who makes it
Who writes this site, where the facts and prices come from, and the specific things it deliberately doesn't do — hotel reviews and sponsored posts included.
This is a guide to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport and to the part of a trip that starts there: checking a flight, working out which of the two working terminals you actually need, and getting into Guangzhou — or further into the region — without relying on directions written before this year’s changes to the airport. It’s written for somebody who’s landed with a phone and a passport and needs an answer now, which is why the pages answer first and explain afterwards.
It is not the airport’s website
This site is not connected with Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, with Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport Company Limited, or with any government or official body.
Nothing here is an official tariff, an official timetable or an official notice. Facts, prices and schedules are collected from operators, government sources and published records so that you can plan with them; the company at the counter sets what you actually pay, and the airport and Chinese authorities publish their own information on their own sites. If something here disagrees with an official source, the official source is right and we would like to hear about it.
Who makes it
One person, privately, without a company behind it. There’s no newsroom and no team of contributors; when a page says something is worth doing, that’s one considered judgement rather than a consensus.
The only channel is email, and it’s on the contact page. There’s no form, because a form would mean collecting personal details there’s no reason to hold.
Where the facts come from
Every price and distance on the site lives in a single data file, and the pages read from it — the text around a figure never repeats it, not even approximately, so a number can only be wrong in one place rather than in twenty. Where a route hasn’t been checked and priced, that’s said plainly rather than filled in with a guess.
Legal and regulatory facts — visa rules, entry conditions, passenger rights — carry a source and a date they were last checked, for the same reason: rules like these change on a government’s schedule, not on ours, and a fact without a checked date is treated as unverified rather than assumed current.
What that means for you as a reader: this site is a reliable guide to how things work and roughly what they cost, and it isn’t a substitute for checking an official source before you travel on anything time- or document-sensitive.
What this site does not do
Hotel listings and reviews. That’s a different business with different incentives, and doing it well isn’t possible from here. The area guides compare zones by what they’re for; they don’t rank properties.
Sponsored articles. Nobody has paid for coverage on this site, and sponsored placement isn’t something it sells.
Bookings. Nothing is sold here directly. Where a page links to a company that does sell, the arrangement is set out on the affiliate disclosure page — including what it changes and what it doesn’t.
Advice nobody can stand behind. Several pages here say plainly that a service isn’t worth booking, or that renting a car almost certainly isn’t going to work — that’s the point of writing it independently rather than for whoever pays for the click.
Corrections
Rules change, stations close, fares move, and a guide that isn’t corrected becomes wrong slowly and invisibly. If something here no longer matches what you saw, that’s the most useful message anyone can send: say what you saw and roughly when, and it gets checked.
