Should I go from airport to train station to CRH to get to Dongguan or take an airport bus or even a taxi?

Any advice is appreciated.
Which part of Dongguan are you going to?

If it's points southwest - eg, Humen or Changan - SZX might be better.

If it's the other usual suspects - Nancheng, Dongcheng or Wanjiang - CAN would work.

Changping definitely has buses to both SZX and CAN.

Houjie is a toss-up, and the rest of the city is a tough call. Traffic is bad all over the place, and unfortunately neither SZX nor CAN are near useful train stations.
