First of all, I’d confirm whether you refer to Xiamen by saying “Ximenes”. If so, why would you detour for twice stops in GZ? Actually, the best travel route is Beijing - Hebei – Taizhou – Xiamen – GZ. Anyway, if you insist in taking your own plan, here is the cheap transportation:
1. Hebei is a big province, which contains many cities. If you are heading to the capital city, Shijiazhuang, you can take a direct bus at Liuliqiao or Lizeqiao Long-distance Bus Station. It costs 76-95RMB.
2. From Shijiazhuang to GZ, I suggest you fly there and the air ticket fare usually enjoys great discounts. By bullet train, a first class seat costs CNY1256.5 and second class seat costs CNY785.5.
3. From GZ to Xiamen, high-speed train from GZ South departs at 19:30. It only takes 4 hours to get to Xiamen North Railway Station. The ticket fare of second class seat is CNY150.5.
4. To Taizhou, there are many bullet trains from Xiamen North Railway Station. First Class Seat costs CNY226 and second class seat costs CNY188.
5. From Taizhou to GZ, two direct buses leave from Luqiao Bus Station at 11:00 and 14:40. It costs CNY330-360.
About the accommodation, every city you mentioned has many youth hostels. Most of them have cheap price and good environment. It is suggested to search online and book in advance.
Good trip!
