You don't need a visa because leaving Guangzhou by train to Hong Kong is perfectly eligible for 144 hour visa free transit. It is important that your flight from Seoul to Guangzhou doesn't have any additional landing within mainland China.

When leaving Guangzhou to Hong Kong by train, you have to know several details about the procedure how to do it:

- You need your ticket in your hand before your travel from Seoul, so you will have to book a ticket before your departure for Seoul
- The only train that is valid for this via free transit option is the one departing from Guangzhou East to Hong Kong Hung Hom railway station. This train takes a bit less than 2 hours to arrive in Hong Kong. High speed train is not eligible for use within the visa free transit option
- It is advised to book this train on this website by clicking on the word "Trains" in the upper part of the site. Keep in mind that you choose those railway station that I have mentioned above
- During the booking process, you will have to insert the place where your real ticket will be delivered in Guangzhou, so it is essential that you book your accommodation at least for one night in advance
- After the successful booking you will receive an e-confirmation in your email inbox that you will have to print out and have it in hard copy as a proof that you will really use the train to exit mainland China by train from Guangzhou
- Your booking for a train ticket has to be done at least a week before your departure in order that the agency has enough time to deliver your train ticket to the address you will insert during the booking process.

Basically, this is it.
