Guangzhou to Hong Kong (KCR)
The KCR East Railway travels between Hong Kong (Hung Hom station) and Guangzhou East. The journey time is generally under 2 hours and the train has a food and drinks service
NOTE: You will pass through immigration at both ends of the journey.
You are advised to arrive 45 minutes before the departure time, and gates close 10 minutes before departure.
Tickets can be bought at Hung Hom station in Hong Kong, and in Guangzhou East station. You can also buy tickets 14 days in advance from the KCR website.
Prices are (in Hong Kong dollars):
- $73 for children (stopping at Dong Guan)
- $95 for children (not stopping at Dong Guan)
- $145 for adults (stopping at Dong Guan)
- $190 for adults (not stopping at Dong Guan)
- $230 for premium class (only available on routes marked with *)
The best trains (and certainly most peaceful) are the ones that go straight through. Trains stopping at Dongguan tend to be less clean and more crowded.

Sorry, that post was supposed to be for the Guangzhou-Kunming train.

You are travelling through Southern Guangdong on this journey, not Yunnan. The scenery is less than spectacular

What's the scenery like? I imagine it would be spectacular, as you are travelling through southern Yunnan, which has some of the most beautiful landscapes in China. What was your experience of it?
Also, the meals which are served on board the train, do they cost extra or are they part of the cost of the ticket? Thanks for helping
