According to the policy, each adult passenger can take one child under 120cm for free by sharing seats. Child under 150cm can buy child ticket with own seats. This policy works for this high speed rides to and from HK too. Hope this information can help you.

However, we are sorry that we cannot offer delivery service for the high speed trains in and out of HK. Passengers need to collect paper tickets in HK West Kowloon Station ticket counter instead. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

00ReplyI suppose it cannot work. To take this high speed ride, you will go through the immigration check at the West Kowloon Station, for both HK and China mainland parts. So your enterance city is not in Beijing area. I am afraid this cannot work.
