Hong Kong to Guangzhou by Train

The most popular, convenient and comfortable way is to take Through train from Hunghom statioin. The major advantage of Through train is: you do not need to wait in line to go through immigration counter, custom clearance, as you go through the immigration counter in Hunghom, Hong Kong side and Guangzhou, China side, which they only cater to the passenger of the through train. So, you do not need to wait for a long time and it is more comfortable. Vs. the passenger of coach would go through say, Luo Ma Zhou or Huanggang, where lots of passengers would use that check point, which can be quite chaotic in peak hours. It cost HK$190 or 230 per ticket, depends on if they would stop by Dongguan or the speed. The fastest train can arrive in Guangzhou within 1 and 1/2 hrs. and the one which stops by in Dongguan would take around 2 hrs.  Following is the Kowloon Through Train schedule for your reference.
