Destination & City Travel Guide
About Guangzhou
Guangzhou combines older trading streets with a newer skyline along the Pearl River. Chen Clan Ancestral Hall is a strong introduction to local craft, while Shamian Island invites a slower walk past old buildings. Canton Tower and the riverfront work best towards evening. Travellers from India should identify their hotel district before choosing an airport transfer, as the centre covers several widely separated areas. Baiyun Airport has multiple terminals, and the correct arrival or departure terminal matters for the return trip.

What's new in Guangzhou
- October 2025: Baiyun Airport opened Terminal 3, adding a new departure and arrival location that travellers need to distinguish from the older terminals.
- January 2026: international and regional flights previously using Terminal 1 moved to Terminal 3, changing pickup and departure arrangements.
Tips for travellers from India
Choose Tianhe for a stay centred on modern shopping districts, or the older Liwan area for an itinerary around traditional streets and the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall. Shamian Island belongs with the western side of the city, while Canton Tower and the newer riverfront districts form another outing. This division avoids repeated east-to-west crossings.
Baiyun's third terminal makes the terminal name essential when arranging a car. The airport provides a free round-the-clock shuttle between all three terminals, but a terminal transfer is an additional stage of the arrival. Use the transport information for the building serving the flight rather than directions saved for a previous trip.
A riverfront evening fits naturally after Canton Tower, while a visit to the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall can lead into a closer look at Liwan. Treat a hotel in Tianhe as a transport base for the older districts, not as walking-distance accommodation for every historic sight. Guangzhou's spread is easier to manage through these distinct neighbourhood groups.
Best time to visit Guangzhou
October to December or March, about 17–27°C, for less humid walks.

Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN). Terminal 3 handles the international and regional services transferred from Terminal 1 in January 2026, including international flights of China Eastern, Hainan Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines and Spring Airlines. Air China, Hainan Airlines and Shenzhen Airlines domestic services remain at Terminal 1 under the airport's January allocation.
About Melbourne
Melbourne’s centre is organised on a grid, making it easy to pair Federation Square with nearby galleries and the Yarra riverfront. Queen Victoria Market and the Royal Botanic Gardens deserve separate outings rather than a hurried loop. Tram routes cover the inner city, while trains open coastal and regional day trips. Indian travellers often have relatives or university appointments here, so a flexible plan is useful. Melbourne Airport has no passenger rail station; the express bus reaches Southern Cross, where city trains and trams connect.

What's new in Melbourne
- November 2025: The Metro Tunnel opened with five underground stations, adding access to Parkville, the central city and the St Kilda Road area.
- February 2026: Cranbourne, Pakenham and Sunbury trains switched fully to the tunnel, while Frankston services returned to the City Loop, changing useful interchange routes.
Tips for travellers from India
Southern Cross is convenient for a SkyBus arrival, while a stay nearer Flinders Street suits Federation Square and the river. Melbourne Airport still requires a road transfer; the Metro Tunnel is a city railway project, not an airport rail link. A hotel near the central tram network can simplify the final leg after the express bus.
The Free Tram Zone covers a defined central area, so check the boundary before riding towards the Royal Botanic Gardens or farther suburbs. Queen Victoria Market belongs to the northern side of the centre, while the gardens sit across the river from the main grid. The Metro Tunnel’s Town Hall and State Library stations connect with established central stations, and Anzac gives the St Kilda Road area another rail access point. At the airport, international flights use Terminal 2, while domestic airlines use other terminals. An onward flight within Australia therefore needs the domestic terminal indicated by the carrier, even when both legs appear on one booking.
Best time to visit Melbourne
March to May or September to November, roughly 11–24°C, for parks and streets.

Airport Information & Terminals
MEL: Melbourne airport. Melbourne airport transfer should be matched to the exact hotel, suburb or meeting area. Rail can work well for light luggage, but late arrivals, winter weather and family baggage often make a direct cab or booked transfer easier.
