SĩuGükWai / 小谷圍
SĩuGükWai Island (simplified Chinese: 小谷围岛) is a district of Xinzao Town (simplified Chinese: 新造镇), Panyu District, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. [1][2]
[edit] Transport
The island can be accessed through the toll Nansha Port Expressway from the city, which links the island to Haizhu District to the north and Panyu District to the south. A temporary bridge connects the island to the southeast part of Haizhu district near the Yingzhou Ecological Park. A newly opened two-section cross-river tunnel now provides alternative free access to the island, linking it to the planned Biological Island to the north and Luntou area in Haizhu District.
Two Guangzhou Metro stations are located on the island. The Higher Education Mega Center North Station (simplified Chinese: 大学城北站) and Higher Education Mega Center South Station (simplified Chinese: 大学城南站) on Line 4 provide quick access to Guangzhou's convenient metro system.
The island is also 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 similar to buses in the city, stops frequently and therefore it takes longer to ride, while commuter express buses dedicated to serve the university town utilize mainly expressways and have less stops. These express buses mostly terminate at the old campuses of respective universities on the island.
