Bucky reported on CFV that it was due to a white powder received at the consulate on Monday. I don't see an update on the consulate web site, but it's being reported by several news organiztions now. They are still closed today (Wednesday), but I'll guess they'll be back open on Monday.

The notice on the Consulate's web page has been update to this

 

• To all visa applicants who are scheduled for interviews in Guangzhou, May 15-17

  Before you visit the Tianyu Office of the U.S. Consulate General in Guangzhou, please check the link above for the latest schedule information and updates.

 

Not sure if that's an actual extension of the closure, or just a warning to check the web site before you go.

I already rescheduled an immigrant visa interview for May 22 through ustraveldocs.com on May 14. I got the approval confirmation letter also. Then someone from U.S. Consulate Guangzhou called me through phone yesterday to come for interview on May 24. I forgot to mention to the person about I have rescheduled my interview through the website for May 22. I am confused about which date I should go for my interview? May 22 or May 24? I would like to call the immigrant visa unit to confirm but I cannot find the phone number in the website. Thanks.

You should be able to verify your interview date through ustraveldocs.com. If you miss this appointment, they might flag you as a "no show".

 

You might also notify them of the mix-up through their web mail at http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn/immigrant-visa-unit-question.html
