[quote=ELLYSE,336233]1) There's no direct Hong Kong -- Shantou train (not sure if there's direct bus), you'd be better off going via Shenzhen or Guangzhou. For Shenzhen, take the light blue KCR East Rail line to Lowu (http://www.mtr.com.hk/images/MTR_routemap.jpg) and walk across the border. For Guangzhou, there're direct trains from Hung Hom stop in Kowloon (http://www.it3.mtr.com.hk/B2C/UserPage/sysTimeTable_Eng.asp), also on the light blue KCR East Rail line -- these arrive at Guangzhou East train station.

Shenzhen -- Shantou train:
N632/N633 (1511--2320) 8h09min

Guangzhou East -- Shantou trains:
N621/N624 (0826--1652) 8h26min
N628/N625 (1455--2140) 6h45min

Or from Shenzhen's Luohu long-distance bus station (also at the border), there're buses leaving for Shantou every 20 mins 0730--2140. Fare is 170 RMB, journey time 4 hours. This sounds like a more convenient option than train.

2) Plane. There's no direct train for this route, and it's too far to be comfortable by bus.

3) Don't know what to recommend as you've provided no information on sightseeing interests and preferences. Probably try going to the Hakka roundhouses in Fujian province, and Xiamen?[/quote]
