Transportation
The town is at the confluence of the Jingjiu , Guangzhou-Meizhou-Shantou and the Guangshen Railway , providing convenient links to many areas around China.
Dongguan railway station and Dongguan East railway station are located in the town, and a through train links directly from the Hung Hom station in Kowloon , Hong Kong . Changping also has two bus stations. Because of this, it is one of many border crossings from Hong Kong into mainland China and is also a popular way to come into mainland China for some during weekends.
Changping has several types of hire transportation, both licensed and unlicensed, including automobile, tuk-tuk , motorcycle, and cycle rickshaw . There are three types of automobile taxis in the town. The yellow and green automobile taxis are local taxis driven by local people (often former motorcycle taxis drivers.) A short ride will cost only seven yuan. The light blue taxis are Dongguan City taxis. While the ride will cost a little more than a local taxi these cars will drive to areas all around Dongguan. Unlicensed rogue taxis are anyone with a car or microvan looking to make money selling rides around town. Rogue taxis do not use a meter and will typically charge a flat rate of 15 yuan per trip into the town centre.
There is a bus service from Changping to Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport in Shenzhen . [1]
