High-speed rail offers direct city-center to city-center connections between West Kowloon and Guangzhou South with shorter onboard times compared with long-distance buses and fewer transfer requirements than flights. Buses provide low-cost options but longer travel times and border checks; flights have shorter airborne time but require airport transfers and additional processing. For many travelers the high-speed G-series services provide faster door-to-door city links.
