Guangzhou Metro Line 3

Guangzhou Subway Line 3 is formed with one north-south-ward main rail and a northeastward branch.
Guangzhou Metro Line 3 is a 67.3 km Y-shaped line connecting Airport South and Tianhe Coach Terminal to Panyu Square. All stations in the line are underground. When the line opened on 26 December 2005, trains operated between Guangzhou East Railway Station and Kecun. Following completion of the Tianhe Coach Terminal–Tiyu Xilu and Kecun–Panyu Square sections, the line was rerouted on 30 December 2006 to offer transfer-free connections between Panyu Square and Tianhe Coach Terminal via Tiyu Xilu.
The Guangzhou East Railway Station–Tiyu Xilu section became a shuttle until it was extended northwards to Airport South on 30 October 2010. In official distinctions, the main route consists of the entire Airport South–Panyu Square section, while the Tianhe Coach Terminal–Tiyu Xilu section is a spur line.The spur line will be split off in the long term to form part of Line 10. The line interchanges with Line 1 at Tiyu Xilu and Guangzhou East Railway Station, Line 5 at Zhujiang New Town, and Line 8 at Kecun. Line 3 had been notorious for its crowding since it opened, for it ran three-car trains. That was partly relieved when all three-car trains started operating as six-car ones, connected in sets of two, on 28 April 2010.

Sir, Which would the fastest route to take to reach the Four Seasons Hotel :-
1) Airport south subway direct to Zhujiang New Town.
OR
2) Airport South to Linhe West Station, and change to AMP Line to Huacheng Avenue.

Thank you
Gary

  I think Airport South Subway to Zhujiang New To Zhujiang New Town is better, when you get off Zhujiang New Town metro station, you can ask the staff of metro station. BECAUSE you dont need to transfer another line.
