guest72137	Hi, I am at present searching for a flight from London to Guangzhou, but the airline prices are quite high. I was advised to take a flight to Hong Kong and then get a ferry or train to Foshan Guangzhou. Can anyone advise me on this matter. 1) Is this possible? 2) Is it cheaper? 3) What are the problems i might encounter by using this route? 4) Will i have to apply for a Chinese visa and a Hong Kong visa? 5) How long will the journey from Hong Kong to Guangzhou take? 6) Will i encounter language barriers in Hong Kong? This will be my first journey to the far east, i will be going with a friend. Thanks in advance for your help on this matter.

IT,S ABOUT 2-3 HOURS .YES YOU WILL NEED VISA FOR H.K AND CHINA . AS FAR AS LANGUAGE GOES ,YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND SOMEONE IN H.K THAT WILL SPEAK ENGLISH BUT------GUANGZHOU IS DIFFICULT.IF YOU GET STUCK BEST TO ASK A STUDENT OR SOMEONE UNDER 30

I presume UK passport? Apply in advance for China visa (possible in London, or use a visa agency when you get to Hong Kong), you'll receive visa-on-arrival for Hong Kong. 5) Couple of hours. 6) Manageable level.
