Route Overview

Direct high-speed trains link Guangzhou South with Hong Kong West Kowloon, with border and immigration procedures at the terminal.

The duration shown is a planning range, not a fixed timetable. Search the actual travel date on China Railway 12306 to confirm the train, stations, fare, and seat availability.

Carry the passport or travel document used for booking and verify that it is valid for both mainland China and Hong Kong entry requirements.

Arrive earlier than for a domestic train because security, mainland exit controls, and Hong Kong immigration procedures require additional time.
