1a. Arrival: Airport and Hotel
 http://www.hillmanweb.com/china2017/canton1a.html
Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport is about 28 kilometres from Guangzhou city centre. This huge airport opened in 2004 and is well planned and maintain. It is attached to the Metro Station which was very convenient for our later visit to the city. 

We made our way to the hotels reception desk and confirmed a free shuttle to our previously booked hotel: Nomo Apartment Suites.

We always look forward to the meals on Asian airlines --
always a bit of a surprise and different from the western airlines.
