SnapDistance does not publish a road-distance or driving-time figure for Guangzhou to Addis Ababa. Although the land is physically connected, a continuous drive would cross several international borders and long corridors where an ordinary road journey cannot be assumed, so a straight-line road estimate would not describe a usable route.
The geographic halfway point of the great-circle path between Guangzhou and Addis Ababa lies at approximately 19.8987°N, 74.4522°E — the position that is an equal 4,020 km from each city along that path. It is a geometric midpoint, not a halfway point by road.
Addis Ababa (Africa/Addis_Ababa) is 5 hours behind Guangzhou (Asia/Shanghai) all year; daylight saving does not change the gap.
