Yes, Taxi or private car from CP to "well traveled" taxi routes like to SZ is not that much of a problem, but other destinations I have had issues with.

Thanks for the info on FS to CP. I would opt to take taxi from Foshan to GZE, the CRH from GZE to CP. That should save a bit of time.

Start with taking the CRH train from CP to GZE (rmb 55, 35 mins) .10 mins to transfer from CRH to the Guangzhou metro station and buy a RMB 8 token to go on the #1 line to the end of the line (approx 50 mins) and transfer over to the GuangFo line to Zumiao in Foshan where I was headed to (another approx 30 mins including the long walk to change lines and wait for it to come / go).
So already 125 minutes in actual travel time not including the time it takes to and from the individual stations PLUS waiting in line to buy the CRH ticket - worse on the way back in GZ as the lines were much longer compared to the one in CP.
But of course this is Canton Trade Fair season, but I'd say to be conservative, one needs at least 2-1/2 hours to travel between Foshan hotel to CP even if things are all ultra smooth.

Posts: 26Convincing Women in China They're Too Hairy
With the occasional discussion about Chinese women and body hair, this short article is of interest. Another example of corporations having no qualms about advertising & marketing to convince ladies they have a problem which needs to be fixed. Should we really be forcing this on the Eastern cultures? Unfortunately there's no money to be made in advertising to Chinese women telling them they are beautiful just the way they are.

The trains come so often though, there's no real need to check the schedule.

Posts: 129Anyone in town to hang out
Hi all,
It's been quite a while since my last trip to CP. How is the "weather" over there? Is SN open or operatingatstealth mode?
I joined BSD party last time, and had a really good time. He really knows how to party.
I will be in CP this Thursday (late, after 8pm) and Friday evening, wondering if there is anyone in town to hangout, make new friends, and of course, do my share of helping the country welfare system.
Please PM me if you are interested.
Cheers,
Staid

Posts: 129120km from foshan to CP
Fare by taxi:
It's roughly 120km from FS to CP, therefore:
10mao 1st 3km. 2 mao / m up to 15km, then 2. 4 mao 15km+ = 10mao (1st 3km) + 2mao * 12km + 2. 4 mao * 105km = 286mao ( 120km).
You can take train from foshan to Guangzhou, then Guangzhou to CP, however, you need to time your arrival for the connection:
From foshan to Guangzhou (use chrome to auto translate) :

Guangzhou to CP:
http://train.qunar.com/stationToStat...m?fromStation=%E5%B9%BF%E5%B7%9E%E4%B8%9C&toStation=%E4%B8%9C%E8%8E%9E%E4%B8%9C&date=2012-10-25.
Again, roughly 1. 5 hr, train route cost about 60mao. .
Cheers,
Staid.

Posts: 48Foshan to CP
Hi,
Staying in the Crowne Plaza Foshan. Any decent hotel massage / saunas with FS action near here?
Also thinking of getting a taxi down to CP some evening for some action there. How long would this take in a taxi, and what would be the approx fare?
Thanks.
