Station-to-station plan

Depart

Quanzhou

Allow local travel and security or boarding buffer from your Quanzhou base.

Arrive

Foshan West or Guangzhou South

Do not treat the timetable duration as arrival at your Foshan hotel.

Train versus flight

A train takes roughly 4.5 hours before local transfers. There is no dependable direct-flight assumption in this planning model, so use train and budget 6.5 hours door to door.

Planning range; a Guangzhou transfer may be simplest. Confirm live schedules and fares before booking.
