 | Hi there, I will be travelling to China for the first time with my partner and 16 year old daughter. I am looking for transport information ie which train or bus to get from Shenzen to Guangzhou and then from from Guangzhou to Changchun. I want to do this by train or bus cause I reckon it's cheaper, am I correct? Also can you tell me how much time it will take for each trip and the approx cost and whether I can purchase the tickets online. Thankyou Anna |

| You can take a bus from Hongkong to Guangzhou,I think it's faster than the train,and frequent. The trains from Guangzhou to Changchun: T236/T237 Guangzhou East to Changchun,34h36m,588RMB for the hardsleeper; T121/124 Guangzhou to Changchun,35h43m,588RMB for the hardsleeper; Good luck!!! |

| Hi there thanks for the reply. Can I book that bus from HongKong to Guangzhou online or would it be easier to do this when I get there? What is the number of that bus please |

| Presume you are flying into HK. buses leave regularly from airport and there is no need to book. It would be a good idea to check for cheap flights grom either Guangzhou or Shenzhen to Changchun whick is a long train trip north. There are sometimes great discounts depending on when you are travelling. Just click on the plane icon on the top right of this page. |

| Hi I clicked on the airplane icon but this gives me the discounted amount but not the actual price, would rather know what I was paying for in advance so I can budget. |

| I have a renewing my visa question: If Shenzen is the border then is this the place to travel to to renew my visa after being in Changchun for three months? Or do I have to fly out of Hongkong to renew?? |

| if u r stopping over HK 4 a couple of days - then strongly suggests that u take the hk to guangzhou "Through train" instead of the buses. This is bec since u r travelling with yr family - the train actually provides the fastest non-stop service than the buses that goes from hk to guangzhou - and since its a direct non-stop train, u get aboard in hk Hong Hum Station and disembark in guanzhou where u then clear immigration n customs. This is unlike the bus - where u need to get down at the hk side of shenhzen border, go through immigration n customes, then again through china's immigration n customs - and then to another bus to continue yr way. Then from guangzhou to Changchun - u can take the train in soft seat/sleeper as its much safer than on buses considering the long journey. On yr visa - u maybe able to renew it at changchun immigration office - but do check with the hotel staff there first as to whether there's a immigration dept in the city (likely) and whether they process for foreigner seeking an extension. |

| Thanks for that very useful info. I thought that it would be better to get my visa at Hongkong airport which has been recommended, don't want to wait til I get to Changchun. Can anyone tell me where and how much a laptop will cost me with up to date software? We are leaving from New Zealand and thought that we would purchase one before we leave but Iknow we'd probably pay a lot less in China. I head Shenzen is a great place to shop. Any tips? |

| hi again - its not possible to get a china visa when u land in HK airport - but when u are in hk - u should check ith the hotel concierge or if they have a travel agency within the hotel to do it for u - it takes usually 2 days - so its better to drop by the travel agency to do it on arrival at the hotel. On buying laptop - its advisable if u need to buy it in HK and not in mainland china - as altho it may seems cheaper; but unless one knows the laptop technically; its not advisable to do so. |
