It can be tricky to buy train tickets in China when you don’t understand the language, so China Travel is a game changer. The site makes it very easy to book a ticket, you can pay with PayPal or your credit card, and the site includes many tips to guide you at the station. I booked high speed rail tickets to go from Shenzhen to Hong Kong and everything went very smoothly.

Travelling by high-speed rail in China is an interesting experience for foreign passengers. Different cities have different styles of railway stations. Most of stations are close to city downtown area or easy to reach by public transport if far from downtown, which brings great convenience for me. I will continue to use train service for my next trip to China.

All borders are closed till now due to the virus, and only Hong Kong – Zhuhai – Macau Bridge is open. But I heard all people entering Hong Kong are required to be quarantined for 14 days.

If you take high speed ride to HK, they depart from Guangzhou South Station only. If you take more ride, they only use Guangzhou East Station.

I think there is no direct flight from Kuala Lumpur to Shantou, you also need a transfer in other place. So Guangzhou should be more direct. Fly to Guangzhou and then change to high speed ride to Puning.

Transfer time from Guangzhou Baiyun Airport to Guangzhou South
My flight arrives at Baiyun Airport at 12.30pm. Given that I need time to clear the immigration and have brief lunch at the airport, then proceed to take the metro to Guangzhou South HSR (Guilin as destination), would to be able to suggest the best High Speed departure time bound for Guilin? I am not familiar with the layout South Station, so may need to factor in the time for collection of tickets. Will a 4pm departure be sufficient time for me?

The transfer from airport to South Station should take around 1.5 hours and you need at least 1 hour (if possible 1.5 hours would be better) for ticket collection and security check. Another one hour should be prepared for immigration check and luggage collection at the airport. So maybe it is safer to choose a later one around 4:30pm.

Guangzhou Railway Station should open 24 hours a day but the South Station is not. As I know the south station may open at 5:30 or 6am and end after around 11:30pm. By the way, to enter the station, you would need to hold a ticket departing from the station.
