I somehow imagined that would be the case, but upon landing at CAN earlier this year, they told me the only place to apply in Guangzhou is in Pazhou, where the Canton Fair is. Pretty counter-intuitive.
In SZX, similar story, but the place allowed to apply is Shenzhen Bay Port, which would be nice for flights out of HKG, but my last flight into HKG arrived 2 hours late, past Shenzhen Bay opening hours, so had to go to Huanggang and wait in line forever (as posted above, iirc).
