This rail starts from the Guangzhou South Railway Station and stops at Shenzhen North Railway Station, passing through three railway stations including Qingsheng, Humen and Guangmingcheng At the beginning of its operation, the speed will be limited to 300 k/h. It takes about 35 minutes from Guangzhou South Railway Station to Shenzhen South Railway Station. The ticket prices are CNY 100 for the first class seats and CNY 75 for the second class seats. Starting from Shenzhen North Railway Station, the Shenzhen-Guangzhou high-speed railway connects Wuhan and Beijing via Guangzhou to the north, Hong Kong to the south, and Xiamen, Shanghai and other big cities to the east. In the future, it will connect Maoming and Zhanjiang. Currently, passengers who plan to take high speed trains from Shenzhen to Changsha, Wuhan and other destinations will have to transfer at Guangzhou South Railway Station first and then take Guangzhou-Wuhan high-speed railway to reach their destinations. It is still unknown when high speed trains will run directly to Shenzhen North Railway Station through the new line. The section from Shenzhen to Hong Kong is currently under construction. The project will be finished by the end of 2015. By then, it just takes about 20 minutes if Shenzhen people go to Kowloon by high speed train.

There are two kinds of bullet train from Shenzhen to Guangzhou; D trains and G trains.
The D trains depart from Shenzhen railway station, also called Luohu railway station and the duration time is about one hour. The G trains depart from shenzhen North railway station and the duration time is about 35-45 minutes.
You can buy the ticket on-line, through phone or from the railway station or ticket windows.
