JAIE Points: Join Date: Jun 14, 2007 Status: offline	Hi, Just wondering if anyone could give me information on travelling from Hong Kong to Wuhan. Im thinking of taking the train. Is it easy enough to Purchase a ticket? I have never been to China before and it would be nice to have some helpful hints, and I heard you can obtain a visa in Hong Kong before going to Wuhan. Is that true? Thanks, Jaie

Click on links at ttop of page for both plane and train schedules and prices

GUESTGEOFF	Hi Jaie I too am planning to do train from HK (or Shenzhen) to Wuhan (or Chongqing) to do Yangtze cruise. Did you end up doing this train leg? And anything that I should know? Was it a worthwhile venture? Cheers geoff

GUESTJOHN D	Hi everyone, It's my first time to travel to Wuhan via Hong Kong. Are there any other airlines that fly straight apart from Dragonair? My intended dates are already fully booked. What do you think is my next best option to reach there quickly? I'd appreciate any help. Thank you very much! John D

I don't think there're direct flights for Hanoi -- Wuhan at all. Flights from Hanoi to mainland China are pretty limited. You might want to try flying Hanoi -- Shanghai or Hanoi -- Guangzhou, then taking a fast D train (or a domestic flight, if you want to splurge) to Wuhan.
I think the only airlines that fly Chongqing -- Singapore direct would be SilkAir and Singapore Airlines.
If you've any more queries, please email to yahoo.com|ellyse99 and put "TravelChinaGuide" and your own username in the subject line, thanks.

Hey Guest59232,

If you search trains from Shenzhen to Wuhan, there is definitely no trains available. There are two train stations in Wuhan. They are Wuchang and Hankou.

There are direct trains from Shenzhen to Wuchang. They are K556, T68, T96, Z24 and T176. However, there are no direct trains from Shenzhen to Hankou. If you want to go to Hankou, you need to transfer trains at Xinxian, Macheng, Wuchang, Changsha, Yongzhou and Hengyang.

By the way, it is said that a new train station is to be open on Oct. 20, 2009. This is really good news.
