1. In GZ, taxi by metre starts at 7RMB
2. There are many replica products in GZ. Clothes wholesale market is not far from the train station.
3. Baiyun airport in GZ has both domestic and international departures.

Taxis go by meter.
Yes, you're close to the wholesale markets.
I think you missed out the word "tax" in your last question? There's no more airport departure tax collected at the airport as it has been already included in the price of the flight ticket.

Don't bother using USD, use RMB. It's currently around 1:6.8 for USD:RMB, check out the rates online.
The exchange rate is fixed so it doesn't make a difference where you do the exchange.
Pay for airport shuttle on the bus itself. There're buses leaving the airport as long as there're flights arriving. Airport shuttle no.1 goes to Guangzhou main train station.

GUEST99114 Hi Ellyse,
How about from Foshan to Hong Kong? Do you have any idea about that?
