Subject: Re: 1 week in China Posted on: Sat, 12 Feb 2005 18:38:10 +0000 (UTC)

There's a sleeper train that go from Hong Kong to BeiJing and vice
versa, there's a sleeper train that go from Hong Kong to ShangHai.

The whole trip takes around 24 hours. For more information, please
check out KowLoon Canton Railway Corporation's website.

I recommend taking an airplane ride, it's much quicker if you're have a
tight schedule.



As for immigration for train from Hong Kong to GuangZhou.

Well... When I was going to Hong Kong from GuangZhou, the immigration
was done in the stations, you go through immigration in the immigration
check in the GuangZhou station and then again in the Hong Kong station.

Don't know what is the immigration check is for the opposite journey.
Maybe it will be done in the Hong Kong station, maybe it will be done
in the Hong Kong border.



As for a week in China.

Might not be suefficient, I have travelfor around two weeks in China,
and even that felt like the whole thing was too rushed.

But it should be noted that travel in a foreing place more than might
be a little bit too exhausting, especially if you kept changing places
each few days. If you're not the type that get homesick quite quickly
or even the nomadic type, it's not recommendable to stay more than a
week.



As for a day in Hong Kong.

Well... Like it have already been said, if it's just the northern part
of Hong Kong and the southern part of the KowLoon peninsula, even a
day enough. To explore the whole Hong Kong Special Administration
Region might take around a week.
