Connecting in Guangzhou


Upon arrival in the Guangzhou airport, my friends and I went through a lengthy customs process. But before we knew it, we were into the main body of the airport. Immediately upon leaving baggage claim, several men in white shirts and slacks aggressively offered to help us find where we needed to go. Fortunately, a friend had informed us that we would be offered "help", with the expectation of compensation. Upon realizing that these friendly gentlemen did not speak English, and feeling reasonably confident that we could find the terminal, we set off on our own. The left picture is of our connecting flight from Guangzhou. The right picture is of the main hall leading to our departure gate. It was quite large. After another security checkpoint, we made our way to the departure gate, where we caught a bus directly to our connecting flight.
