About:China Train

Hi,

I'll be traveling to Hong Kong. I want to travel from Hong Kong to Xiamen. Again from Xiamen to Nanning and from Nanning to Hong Kong. I also want to know the total distance and time taken to travel from each point (i.,e from HK to XMN and from XMN to Nanning & from Nanning to HK) if i travel by bus or by train or by Ferry. I don't want to take a flight.
I would like to gather some info regarding traveling to Xiamen from Hong Kong. I don’t want to take a flight to Xiamen.

As per my knowledge, the distance of Xiamen is almost 850 Kms away from HK (almost 13 Hrs journey by train or bus). Again from Xiamen, I’m planning to visit Nanning also. But it still farer from Xiamen. So I’ve to board a train from HK(Kowloon Station) to Guangzhou East. From Guangzhou’s, I’ve to change my train to reach Xiamen. If I need to travel to Nanning from Xiamen, then I’ve to change my train again from Guangzhou East. Even this is almost 12-15 Hrs journey if I travel through a super fast express train.

So, now I wanted to know whether my gathered info is right or not. If No! Then please let me know the right one. And if Yes! Then I want like to make the seat reservations before itself, for my comfortable journey. Also kindly let me know, whether is there any direct or indirect ferry boats available to reach to Xiamen, (i.e, can I travel through ferry boat from Shenzhen?)
Please help me out. I need your urgent help.
Awaiting for your reply.
Thank You,

Please help me out. Give me a brief detail about my questions.


Regards,
Hemanth Kumar

Yes, you need to transfer at Guangzhou East Station from Kowloon to Xiamen. Or, you could go to Shenzhen first and then take a bus to Xiamen by around 10hrs. And there are no ferry boats between Shenzhen and Xiamen. From Xiamen to Nanning, one direct train K230/K231 is available. And from Nanning back to Hong Kong, there are no direct trains but you could transfer at Guangzhou. For the train tickets Guangzhou-Xiamen, Xiamen-Nanning and etc, you could book them online directly.
