[quote=GUEST76248,282226]Hello Everyone,

We are going to be in Hong Kong at the end of May 2008 and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience w/ taking the KCR to border, then taking the train from Shenzhen to Guilin.  Here's my questions: 
1.   Is Shenzhen safe to take kids to?  I have been hearing some frightening stories and am beginning to wonder.  
2.   Is train travel safe for a mom and 3 kids?  This is why I was planning on purchasing the soft sleeper tickets.   I want the kids to take the train so that they will be able to see rural China as well as more developed areas.
3.   Is it possible for me to buy the tickets in advance so I can be assured that we will get the soft sleepers?  
4.   Is it better to get a personal guide or is this something that I can plan for when I get to Guilin?  This is a short side trip on our way up North but, we really want to try and make it while we have the opportunity but, we have limited funds.

Thanks for any advice you can give me.
