Hello!

I am off to Hong Kong mid august and then moving on to Xian. Is there any travel agency in Hong Kong that can purchase train ticket from Guangzhou to Xian? Would it be easy to purchase the said ticket 2 days before departure. I am good with hard sleep or hard seat.
Online booking is rather expensive.
Thanks all.

Maybe you can get ticket at HK train station and leave from there. I found the staff very helpful and most speak English

I would not recomment hard seat travel. It is often very crowded with people standing. On one trip I couldn't even get to my booked seat it was so crowded! Get hard sleeper or soft seat (similar price) as they do not have standing.

There's no direct train from HK to Xian so you have to go to the Guangzhou train station.

I think CITS in Hong Kong will be able to help purchase Guangzhou -- Xi'an train tickets but they do charge a commission.

For traveling from Macau to Shanghai, you can first go to Guangzhou or kowloon in Hong Kong, and then take the train to Shanghai. It will take nearly 17 hours from Guangzhou to Shanghai. The price for the hard seat is about CNY 200, and about 380 for the hard sleeper.

Hi,ANNA102269,

We suggest you to from Macau to HK train stationj then take a direct train from HK to Shanghai. Also be attention it need near one day train ( it is really long time for some travellers always go by plane).

Enjoy your trip!

Yours sincerely,
