Yes,you can use 3 days pass on Foshan Metro
About 6-8 Yuan ,one way from GZ city to Foshan Ancient Temple
depend on where you go in one day ,if you travel to several places by metro ,maybe one day pass is better

What is the best option to buy when you stay 10 days in Guangzhou and travel by metro?
Thanks
maybe yangchengtong metro card, no need to buy 1 day pass or 3 day pass, becuase you stay in GZ 10 days, unless you make a plan before you travel to GZ and you will travel a lot of places in one day ,but it will be exhaust for you if you travel many places in one day . so maybe yangchengtong metro card is okay for you.
Do children under the age of 3 have to pay? If so, is it the same price as adult or is there a discount?
Thank yoU!
Hello there,

Can i person buy the 1 day pass and 3 days pass in advance? Or can only buy on the day we want to use?
you dont need to buy in advance, it is easy to buy at metro station
Will be staying in Guangzhou for 4 days. Can i buy both the 1 day pass and 3 days pass in advance or on the 1st of arrival? Is there any expiry date on the pass? Or should I buy the card every day i want to travel ? Thanks
the one day pass is 24 hours, for example, you use the 1 day pass on the morning 11 am, then will expire on the second day 10:59 am .
it is depend on where you going ,I mean do you travel a lot of place in one day ,for me, I think Yanchengtong is okay , even if you still have money in the Yangchengtong Metro card, you can buy something to eat at 7/11 at the airport.
take metro is not expensive in GZ, most of time 2-3 Yuan one way . not like HK , most of time ,if I travel a lot of places in one day when I in HK, I would buy one day pass in HK, just like you in GZ.
Thanks Victor. For the 1 day pass i can get it at any metro station counter or at the machine? Thanks
Can this 1 day metro pass be use for the haizhu tram service?
Yes,You can

Hi Victor,
Do you mind explaining the statement ' You cant use the ticket to pass in and out of the same station' ? I intend to buy 3 days pass to travel to Foshan, Shamian Island, and the areas in Guangzhou city. So I want to ask Is it ok if i travel from the Guangzhou South railway station to Yuexiu Park station to go to my hotel near there. After that visit the areas in Yuexiu Park and then use the ticket to travel from Yuexiu Park to Beijing Road Pedestrian street and then take the metro back to Yuexiu station again in one day. That means i will be going in and out of Yuexiu Park station 3 times in that day. Will i be fined? Thanks. Plse advise.
3 days pass, you can use the metro card many times in any metro stations in Guangzhou .
