00ReplyAre you flying from US to Guangzhou? If so and if you are going to stay less than 144 hours in Guangzhou, you can just use the 144-hour visa free transit by showing the train ticket to HK. If not, you need to apply for a visa in advance.
Of course you can fly back to US from HK.

00ReplyUSA passport holders can stay in HK for up to 90 days without a visa. So you don't need to worry about the visa issues there.

ReplyLuggage limits for Hong Kong trains
We plan to catch an international flight from Hong Kong airport, but will be traveling from Guangzhou. We are not able to connect via SkyPier. Is it possible to bring two large suitcases, plus two small carry on bags on the bullet trains or through trains from Guangzhou to Hong Kong? If not, what's the best option for transfer from Guangzhou to HK airport with luggage?

00ReplyYes, it's allowed. I often travel with one large suitcase and a knapsack by train from my workplace to my hometown. If you don't know where to put them onboard, ask help from the train attendant.
