Yanjiang West Road, Yingfeng Road and Jinghu Avenue

The official contact page lists three Guangzhou campuses: the North Campus at 107 Yanjiang West Road, Yuexiu District, beside the Pearl River embankment; the South Campus at 33 Yingfeng Road, Haizhu District; and the Huadu Campus at 11 Jinghu Avenue, Huadu District. The three share the main switchboard 020-81332199, but the same department may not operate at every campus, so check by specific department before booking.

The campus can be chosen by location: if you are staying in Yuexiu, Liwan or along the Pearl River, the North Campus is more direct; if you are in Haizhu or heading to the Jiangnan Avenue area, the South Campus is closer; only if your trip takes you to Baiyun Airport or in northern Guangzhou should you put the Huadu Campus on your plan. The North Campus is on the Yanjiang West Road side, with a busy city road at the gate; before entering, find the pedestrian entrance and do not look for the outpatient hall based on old photos.

Appointment line, emergency hotline and English contact

The English appointment page on the official website gives the appointment number as 020-81338679; the line is available on weekday mornings 8:00–12:00 and afternoons 14:30–17:30. The same page also lists a 24-hour emergency hotline written as +86-20-18102274035; this format joins the Guangzhou area code and an 11-digit mobile number, so confirm with the hospital before dialing, and in a real emergency dial 120 directly. For emergency care, go straight to the emergency entrance rather than booking a regular outpatient appointment; routine follow-ups, health checks and repeat prescriptions for chronic conditions are not emergencies.

The emergency department page lists two locations: the hospital headquarters and the South Campus. The headquarters is at 107 Yanjiang West Road and the South Campus at 33 Yingfeng Road; before arriving, confirm which campus is receiving patients, especially at night, so you do not go to the wrong one.

The hospital presented its international medical services at the 2025 Guangzhou International Medical Services Promotion Conference, and the English appointment page also lists the contact email [email protected]. This only shows that the hospital has a contact channel for foreign patients; it does not mean that every registration, payment and pharmacy window can use English, nor that overseas insurance can be direct-billed throughout the hospital. If you hold overseas insurance, confirm by phone or email whether direct billing is accepted and what authorization is needed; prepare to pay out of pocket until confirmed.

The old campus layout and preparing for your visit

The North Campus is squeezed between Yanjiang West Road, old-city lanes and apartment buildings. The outpatient building, old buildings and examination departments are connected by corridors and signs, without the broad plaza of a new campus. After booking, do not rely only on the words “North Campus”; note the building name, floor and check-in window. Allow an extra 20–30 minutes to walk from the main gate to a department deeper in the campus.

At the rear of the campus there is an old brick church building wedged between apartment blocks; the photo was taken in 2013. The old campus is tightly packed, with narrow passages and many turns; if you are pushing a stroller, pulling luggage or have limited mobility, ask at the guidance desk which route is easier before entering, and do not use historical photos in place of on-site entrance directions.
