Since the Jingjiu (Beijing – Kowloon) Railway was completed, it has been easy for visitors to go to Hong Kong from mainland China by train. Jingjiu Railway on the Chinese mainland is connected with Hong Kong MTR (Mass Transit Railway Corporation) East Rail at Lo Wu Station in Kowloon. This connection makes the transport by train between the mainland and Hong Kong a reality. At present, there are through trains of Hong Kong (Kowloon) - Beijing & Shanghai and Hong Kong (Kowloon) - Guangdong. The trains to/from Guangdong go via Guangzhou, Dongguan (Changping), Foshan and Zhaoqing.
