Tony-
Take the train or bus from Guangzhou to a city named Meizhou/Meixian. Its an overnight or all day trip. Jiao Ling is about an hour or so bus ride from this city. You can rent a taxi to take you there for 100 or 200 RMB. Also you can just take a bus from Meizhou for very cheap. I live in Meizhou and teach here at the University.

PS also there is a China Southen flight from Guangzhou every day into Meizhou/Meixian should you want that convenience.
