Reached Bauhinia chun chun 12pm. Total traveling time about 4 hrs.

Pro:
-no need to take the luggage in and out when crossing the immigration.

Cons:
-about 30 mins waiting time when changing to the normal coach (waiting for other passengers).

Is it easy to find money changer in Guangzhou?

Just explore surrounding area beside Bauhinia, so far dint see any money changer around.

Edited on 24/9: There is NO money changer spottet, either at the shopping mall or along the street. Ask around they recommend to change at the local bank counter, but I never check the rate with them.

If i'm not wrong, no money changers in China. Have to be done at the banks.

The only money changer in China I've come across is in Erlian. It's actually not licensed.

The major international chain of hotels should have money changing service, but usually reserved for hotel guests.

Have been to Beijing, Shanghai, Dali, Lijiang, Kunming, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Harbin, Datong, Hohhot, Erlian, Pingyao and Taiyuan and have never seen a licensed money changer except the banks.

You can try put bai yun mountain. Or you can check out Beijing road. Or you can go to the circus at Panyu.

If you need SIM card for Guangzhou china let me know. I know it best.
