long stop over at airports
who has ever stopped off at Guangzhou China, lots of reviews say its rubbish, but what are your thoughts, the flight is cheap but a long stay over so cheap might not be good this time

how long is the stopover? yes reviews seem pretty bad -probably makes manila airport seem good when it has already been declared worst airport in the world ,what about the Etihad /pal flights for October?

longest stopover we had was in Dubai-9hrs and even though we got free hotel /transfer -by the time we got there and the hassle involved -it would probably have been better just to stay in airport .

Not a very good airport for transferring.I only did the 1 time and proved to be quite lengthy.Every where you go there through transfer there are cameras pointed at you and people watching you.
They also go through ALL of your hand baggage again piece by piece and you get another full body pat down all the while there is a camera staring right at you.Those chinese are a funny bunch

Steve, China is what it is. I can't see Guangzhou being any different to other parts I have seen here. If you have a longer than normal stop over 'and' are allowed outside (which I am not sure if allowed) then treat it as an eye opener. It is very different to the Philippines and I think Hong Kong where you have been before. I don't know what the city is like, big by the looks on Google, I would treat it as a new experience. China is a strange place but also fun to be an observer for a few hours.
If you are restricted to the airport.... good luck lolIf you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up
