According to the news, the entry for foreigners (even with visa) is still not accepted. It is not clear if this temporary policy will be stopped in June time.

Train travel from Nanning to Hong Kong and then return.
Hello, my Chinese Visa is Multi entry/exit Visa valid for two years, each stay is three months. So I must go out the country and return every three months. Please advise can I go straight to Hong Kong, do passport control and then return quickly thereafter? Also are there still trains operational from Nanning direct to Hong Kong now in April and May 2020? When I search for that journey then nothing comes up, only to Shenzhen.

Thank you for your inquiry!
All trains to HK were cancelled due to the virus. It is still not sure when will they back to service. Also, according to the news, only Shenzhen Bay port, HK airport, and HK-Macao-Zhuhai Bridge port are open now. You may need to go to Shenzhen first and enter HK by Shenzhen Bay. Or you may take flights instead. Please kindly notice that travelers may need a 14 days isolation according to real time local policy. Please recheck before travel. Hope this information can help you.

Asked by Miguel from JORDAN | Aug. 22, 2019 23:32Reply
Is this train from HK to Nanning usually on time?
Is it safe to catch another train to Beihai with 1 hour break? If we missed it, can we still get refunded?

Thank you for your inquiry.

For the high speed ride, they hardly delay unless an emergency/accident occurred. Usually 1 hour is enough for changing trains at same station. For domestic routes in China mainland, if you miss the booked ride, the ticket cannot be refunded. You can only try to change it to a later one on the same day. If there is no later one or no seats available, you will not be able to make any change either. Hope for your advanced notice.
