Globetrotters can now tour around Hong Kong and Mainland China faster than ever with Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong High Speed Rail

Hong Kong’s convenient transport system has only gotten better with the launch of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong High Speed Rail (Hong Kong Section). This high-speed railway will provide visitors from around the world – including Filipinos – the chance to travel quickly and conveniently between Hong Kong and cities across Mainland China. In particular, the new rail link puts Hong Kong in easy reach of nine neighbouring cities in Guangdong Province and heralds a major boost to tourism in the Greater Bay Area.

Travellers will be able to ride from Hong Kong to a total of 44 destinations in Mainland China without having to change trains, making the city an ideal starting point for multi-destination journeys through China. With frequent direct high-speed trains linking Hong Kong to Shenzhen and Guangzhou in as little as 48 minutes, travelling within the Greater Bay Area will be faster and more convenient than ever before.

The Hong Kong section of the High Speed Rail network runs from West Kowloon Station, one of the world’s largest underground high-speed railway stations and a new must-see landmark for visitors to the city. The station’s design has already garnered a number of international design awards including one at the World Architecture Festival Awards, known as the “Oscars of architecture”.
