A single trip takes about 4 hours. Full price for an economy class seat is over CNY2,500.

Is it possible to change trains at Guangzhou South Station in 22min?

I was told the minimum time needed is 10min for local people by using a "Transfer" service. It should works to international travelers too but I am not sure if it is easy to find this "Transfer" service. Considering the language problem, I feel it is safer to have longer time to figure it out. If you have no other options than 22min, it worth a risk.

It should be offered to soft sleeper ticket holder only. I never heard there is meal offered to second class seat. If you book second class, you may buy your own food instead.

When I search online, I can see there is a D923 shows for some dates?
Is this a direct train or not? Why it only shows on some dates? Sold out or not available?

Thank you for your inquiry.
D923 is a direct train from Beijing West Station to Zhuhai Railway Station. It only runs on each Friday to next Monday. There are second class seat and soft sleeper bed for sale.
