Xiaoguwei
Xiaoguwei Island (Chinese: 小谷围岛) is a district of Xinzao Town (simplified Chinese: 新造镇), Panyu District, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. [1][2]
[edit] Transportation
The island can be accessed through the toll Nansha Port Expressway, which links the island to Haizhu District to the north and Panyu District to the south. A newly opened two-section cross-river tunnel provides alternative free of charge access to the island, linking it to the Luntou area in Haizhu District via the planned Biological Island. In addition, a temporary bridge connects the island to the southeast part of Haizhu district near the Yingzhou Ecological Park.
Two Guangzhou Metro stations are located on the island. The Higher Education Mega Center North Station (Chinese: 大学城北站) and Higher Education Mega Center South Station (Chinese: 大学城南站) of Line 4 provide quick access to Guangzhou's convenient metro system.
The island is served by a dozen of bus routes, with buses mainly running from and to the city centre of Guangzhou. Generally there are two types of bus service: Regular buses, operating similarly to buses in the city, stop frequently and it takes longer to ride; commuter express buses, which are dedicated to serve the university town, mainly utilize expressways and have less stops. Most of these express buses terminate at the old campuses of the universities. There are also shuttle buses provided by individual universities, which travel between the old and new campuses. These are usually reserved for the university faculty and staff only and may not be used by the public or students.
