Ahmed, I have to say that Hong Kong is considered as not part of China when it comes to the immigration affairs, so if you enter from HK to Guangzhou by train, you cannot avail yourself of the 72-hour free transit policy. That means, to use this policy, you should go from HK to Guangzhou and then to Dubai all by air.

Yes, of course. The immigration check point is in Guangdong East Railway Station.

In a number of ways Hong Kong is treated as a separate country. You will have to go through Immigration at the border to enter China.
