I am currently planning a trip from Xiamen to Chaozhou and the back trip.

Hi, Svetta, there is no direct train between two cities, and you are advised to take the bus. There are two buses running daily at different bus stations: one is at 15:10 departing from Fanghu bus station; the other is at 15:30 departing at Xinglin Bus Station. The ticket fare is CNY90 per person.

On your back trip, you need to take the bus at Yueyun Center Passenger Transport Station. At present, there is only one bus operated, departing at 09:50 and charging CNY110 per person.
Nice trip!

Dear Kennedy,

i was told there are train from Xiamen North train station to Miao Pin station? is there such place near Chaochou/Shantou?

BR,
Svetta
