You can buy the ticket right from this website: travelchinaguide.com/china-trains/
They can email you the e-ticket. Or you can buy a ticket upon arrival at the railway station; but it is risky that no seat will be available then.

Thank you for your inquiry.

For delivery service, there need to be a receiver to sigh for the express. If there is a person who can sign for the express on behalf of you, we can arrange delivery service. Please also offer a Chinese phone number of receiver in our booking form. We will contact receiver in advance. Thank you.

It is just a 4 or 5km trip, so maybe CNY15 would do, 15 to 20min on the way.

If you are familiar with the station and rail system, it would work. If you are first time traveler, it is not recommended. It would be better if you prepare about 30min.

In case you miss the second trip, you can still take the next available one by changing the paper ticket at station ticket counter.

Oh, by the way, you need to collect the paper ticket for second trip in advance in Guangzhou, otherwise, even 30min is not enough.
