Scenery along the Way

The bullet train runs from a big modern city to another, passing by the famous Karst landscape. Along the way, you may see busy cities squeezed with skyscrapers as well as quiet rural villages surrounded by clear rivers and green hills; you may see urban white collars rushing to work, as well as farmers working hard in the paddy fields; you may see roads full of flowing vehicles, as well as buffalos wondering leisurely on countryside field ridges…Totally two different visages and life styles of China. It is a rail ride, also a short China discovery trip.

Sorry the platform is not fixed and it depends on the train no. After purchasing the ticket, you will know which platform to go.

pre booking
Do you need to pre book? Do these trains (Shenzhen to Guilin) get very full? Or can we get one at the station or near the time online like 4 days before?

It's more advised to book in advance. It's kind of risky to buy ticket on the departure day as there is possibility they are sold out. And you can book 4 days before as long as you don't travel on holidays.

Thank you for your inquiry.

The working time of a station depends on train schedule. For Shenzhen North Station, it usually opens around 6am in the morning and will be closed after 11pm. The working time will be adjusted if the train schedule changed. Hope this information can help you a little.

Hello, is there anyone knows which station is closer to our hostel? West or North?
We are staying at Secret Courtyard Resort Hotel and plan to take afternoon train to Shenzhen. I am not sure which station should we choose and how early should we depart from hostel to catch the train in time. Any advice will be appreciated!

The North Station is a little bit closer. You'd better take a taxi which takes around 30min. You need to reach the station 1.5 hours in advance for ticket collection, direction and safety check. If you have the tickets in hand, 40min should be enough for safety check and finding your checkin gate.
