Hi Serene,
Greetings from Chengdu, China. In fact, more convenient than high speed trains between Guangzhou and Foshan, there is metro system connecting downtown areas in both Guangzhou and Foshan cities. As you are now staying near Gongyuanqian Station, you can take Guangzhou Metro Line 1 (bound for Xilang) to Xilang Station to transfer to Guangfo Line (bound for Xincheng Dong direction) to Foshan downtown and Ancestor Temple tourist spot. It will take about 1 hour and only 7RMB for going from Gongyuanqian in Guangzhou to Ancester Temple in Foshan by metro. The trains of Guangzhou Metro Line 1 from Guangzhou East Railway Station to Xilang depart during 06:10-23:30, while the trains of Guangfo Line from Lijiao to Xincheng Dong depart during 06:00-23:00.
If you are interested in any trip in Guangzhou, Foshan and the whole Guangdong Province or other destinations in China, please feel free to contact us for help. We will help you with the trip planning of everything.
Wish you a nice day in Guangzhou and Foshan.
