[quote=RITA ,23096]That is a very well-planned itinerary!! Good job!I mean except the HK part, I agree with Kyle, 5-6nights in Hong Kong for sightseeing or shopping may be too long unless you have other business to take care of.1, As far as I know, there are no trains running directly from Hong Kong to Guilin, you can either take flight from HK to GL or take an express train from HK to Guangzhou then to Guilin by train. Another good route is taking train from HK(Kowloon) to Zhuzhou then to Guilin, this one is economical and is the shortest on distance.Z trains only operate between some cities, not all cities. Sometimes "K" category train are good, too. If you want detailed train schedules between those cities you travel, I can make a list for you.2, You are right, there are a lot of options of trains between Xian and zhengzhou, the two cities are very close to each other. There are some websites offer the detailed info, but only in Chinese, i am sorry. The best way for backpackers to purchase train tickets are through the front dest of the hotel/ hostel, in a very low service charge. Usually the travel agencies do not like booking train tickets only for their clients, they can charge service charge more than the ticket price, and the ticket price is very cheap. You can also check the detailed train schedule upon your checking in any hotels/ guesthouses. 3, Sorry, I can't answer you this question, I've never been to HK.4, In Beijing, people like to stay close to the Tian'anmen Square/ Wangfujing Street, those are the very center of the city.5, Absolutely. There are regular buses running between the city center and Badaling and other tourist attractions...etc6, If you do not join in an organized tour designed by travel agency, it can be as flexible as you like it to be. Furthermore, traveling by train is good to make it even flexible.7, Yes, your friend is experienced!!!8, I think many of our foreign friends can give you more on thisPlease feel free to ask, anything you like to know. All of us will be very happy to help you.[/quote]
