FAQ about the Hong Kong - Guangzhou Route

How long is the train from Hong Kong to Guangzhou?
Most high-speed trains from Hong Kong West Kowloon to Guangzhou South take about 47–55 minutes on direct G/C services. Some trains run to Guangzhou East or take extra stops via Shenzhen and can take 1 hour 30 minutes to about 2 hours 10 minutes. Check the specific service when you book, since travel time depends on train type and route.
How often do trains run and when should I book?
On typical weekdays there are frequent departures throughout the day, with peak daytime services roughly every 15–30 minutes and fewer trains early morning and late evening. During Chinese public holidays and long weekends, trains fill quickly—book as early as possible. For routine travel, secure seats 1–2 weeks in advance; for holiday travel, book several weeks ahead via Rail Monsters to guarantee your preferred train and seat class.
What are the seat classes and onboard facilities?
High-speed services offer Standard (Second) Class, First Class, and Business Class. Standard seats are arranged 3+2 across, First Class 2+2 with larger seats and more legroom, and Business Class offers fully reclining seats and extra privacy. Trains include overhead luggage racks, dedicated luggage areas near doors, toilets, and power outlets on most services. Catering varies by service—some trains have trolley service or a dining car; bring snacks if you prefer.
What is the baggage policy for trains to Guangzhou?
Passengers typically travel with carry-on items that fit in overhead racks or designated luggage areas. Common practice allows two carry items plus one larger piece, but very large or heavy items may need to be stored in the carriage luggage zone. There is no统一 checked-baggage service like on airlines—if you have oversized freight, contact Rail Monsters prior to travel for advice. All bags are subject to security inspection at station entry.
Which stations do trains use between Hong Kong and Guangzhou?
Regular high-speed departures leave from Hong Kong West Kowloon. The main arrival is Guangzhou South (high-speed hub). A smaller number of services terminate at Guangzhou East; those usually stop at intermediate stations such as Futian (Shenzhen) or Shenzhen North. Confirm departure and arrival stations on your ticket—stations determine transfer and onward connection options.
