2nd time I write to you tonight.
Last time I went to Hong Kong, was some time ago, but went by soft sleeper, but the time was 39 hours, so it would be about 36 to Guangzhou. Unless the trains have speeded up hugely, (and I dont think they have), I would't even think about it. Slow trip with many stops. It took me days to get over it. On the other hand, flight time is just 2 hours, and just checked Spring Airlines online price is RMB 724. (including tax).
John.

I didn't mean that. This place is for questions. Ask away, and hopefully get some helpful answers. Good site!.

I think the best way is to take the plane. for most of the time, i think about 850Rmb is ok, but now, because of the national day, i am not so sure.
Bye the way, I am stay in guangzhou,if you need some help , you can Pm me or send email to me poetteam@126.com

I read somewhere that there is a train that does shanghai to Shenzhen in 26 hours now, so Guangzhou should be a bit less..... They must have sped things up in the last couple of years.

I never bother with trains when distances of these magnitude are involved. Not worth the time and hassle. It takes about ~900-1000 RMB (FM, MU) one way by flight (went quite recently, say about 10 days back).

For trains, use the links below:
