As for your demand, I have to remind you that it usually takes a long time to travel by rail and bus in China due to the large size. Well then, upon getting to Guangzhou, you can take a train to Chengdu. Then go to local Xinnanmen Bus Station to take a bus to Leshan Xiaoba Bus Station. After that, you can easily transfer to bus no. 13 to the Buddha. After visiting, you need take a bus at Xiaoba Bus Station back to Chengdu first. Then take the only train at Chengdu East to Nanning - K139. Afterwards, there are direct trains between Nanning and Guangzhou. As for the train schedule and fare, you can search on the train page of this website. And I highly recommend you book the train tickets in advance.

Hi Garry,Looking at train times for the trip to Chengdu there is no fast trains as the quickest is just over 1 day correct? Therefore I would be better to break up the journey and spend a day at each town on the way. If i were to catch early trains around 6am and wish to arrive in a destination around 1pm what town do you recommend would fit this ? Thanks for all your help.RegardsGlyn

You can take a high speed train around 06:35 at Guangzhou South to Chenzhou in an hour and twenty minutes. After having a short break there, you can take a train to Huaihua for another break or head for Chongqing. Then there are high speed trains between Chongqing to Chengdu. Just for your reference!
