Keith · Answer

If you use airplane travel for the whole trip to HK and the transit duration is within 72h, no visa is needed, because you will be qualified for the 72h free-visa policy.

Thank you , but one more thing mam,upon arrival at Guangzhou we will go to the train station to hongkong still no visa needed?even we will go outside the airport to go to the train station?

Arthur · Answer

The above reply is not correct, because you have not mentioned your nationality in your post. I am thinking the 72 hour free transit is only for people from 51 countries only. Also, this free transit policy does not apply to exit by train. So you have to apply for a Chinese visa in this situation.
