Scenery along the Way

The bullet train runs from a big modern city to another, passing by the famous Karst landscape. Along the way, you may see busy cities squeezed with skyscrapers as well as quiet rural villages surrounded by clear rivers and green hills; you may see urban white collars rushing to work, as well as farmers working hard in the paddy fields; you may see roads full of flowing vehicles, as well as buffalos wondering leisurely on countryside field ridges…Totally two different visages and life styles of China. It is a rail ride, also a short China discovery trip.

Major Attractions:

In Shenzhen: Splendid China - Folk Culture Villages, Window of the World, Shenzhen Happy Valley, Dameisha Beach, Xiaomeisha Beach…

In Guilin and nearby areas: Elephant Trunk Hill, Reed Flute Cave, Seven Stars Park, Li River, Impression Sanjie Liu, West Street (Xi Jie), Longji Rice Terraces…

We took the train from Chengdu to Xian by high speed train. We bought the tickets from the China Train App. The train booking procedure is very easy and convenient. The train trip was pleasant. We visited Terracotta Warriors. All of us felt it was amazing, when we saw the Warriors. If possible, we will go there again.

Long before, only the normal trains are on service from Hong Kong to Guangzhou, which take two hours. Now, the bullet trains are on operating and they are able to save one hour. It is so amazing. As usual, last time, we purchased the tickets from this agency and we were informed that the tickets could not be cancelled or changed if we miss the train. Thanks for the valuable information.

We are sorry that we have to cancel all bookings with you due to the outbreak of corona virus. It is very pity that we cannot visit China. We have been looking forward this journey for 2 years. Hope everything will come back to normal as soon as possible. We will contact you if we confirm our plan next time.

Thank you for your inquiry.

The working time of a station depends on train schedule. For Shenzhen North Station, it usually opens around 6am in the morning and will be closed after 11pm. The working time will be adjusted if the train schedule changed. Hope this information can help you a little.

Hello, is there anyone knows which station is closer to our hostel? West or North?
We are staying at Secret Courtyard Resort Hotel and plan to take afternoon train to Shenzhen. I am not sure which station should we choose and how early should we depart from hostel to catch the train in time. Any advice will be appreciated!

The North Station is a little bit closer. You'd better take a taxi which takes around 30min. You need to reach the station 1.5 hours in advance for ticket collection, direction and safety check. If you have the tickets in hand, 40min should be enough for safety check and finding your checkin gate.

Can I buy a ticket from Guilin to Shenzhen but get on the train from Yangshuo?
I need a ticket on April 23 but all the tickets are sold out. Can I buy a ticket from Guilin to Shenzhen on G2901 and hop on from Yangshuo.

It is a pity that your plan cannot work. Passengers can hop on from halfway, but the problem is that G2901 does not stop in Yangshuo! It pass by directly with no stop. So you would need a plan B like to make a transfer in Guilin or bus.

They are different stations in the city, the one to use depends on the train you will take. They stop at different stations and you can check it from this website. Your hotel is closer to Guilin Station, only about 2km away. So if possible, G2908 should be best option, if not, then North station would be better than West Station.
