Looks very impressive, but also pretty airport-like. I think I prefer the look of Frankfurt or Zürich, which operate on a similar scale (all three at around 170 million passengers a year).
Of course there is way different railway history behind those. Making it look retro would also have been weird for Guangzhou South I would think.
Who wouldn’t be shocked?
If anyone’s wondering that’s Guangzhou South.

There are some amazing airports in China. Chengdu Tianfu International Airport or Beijing Facing are state of art and great design.
I edited it to include locations.
I do find Chinese architecture and design is often a little less inviting or more sterile than I’d like.
Ah I thought it was all the same location and stopped searching after the first 😁 thanks for the edit!
How about Shanghai Songjiang railway station?
Impressive, but not very warm.
