Il existe 2 options : lente ou rapide.
Hanoi - Hong Kong classic option...This is the classic option, taking
2 nights & 1 day in total. The two sleeper trains save two hotel bills, it gives you a day to explore
Nanning, and is less rushed than the high-speed option below.
Day 1 evening, take the overnight sleeper train from
Hanoi to
Nanning, leaving
Hanoi Gia Lam station around 21:40 every day and arriving
Nanning main station around 10:10 next morning, see the section above for details.
The fare is around VND 568,000 (£20 or $30) with a comfy soft sleeper berth.
Day 2, spend most of the day exploring
Nanning.
Day 2 evening, travel by overnight train from
Nanning to
Guangzhou.
There are several possible trains all running every day: Train K1234 leaving
Nanning at 17:50 and arriving
Guangzhou main station at 07:25 next morning, train K398 leaving
Nanning at 19:15 and arriving
Guangzhou main station at 07:48, and train K1206 leaving
Nanning at 22:50 and arriving at
Guangzhou East station at 11:46 next day. All these trains have soft & hard class sleepers.
The fare is about 285 RMB ($47) in a soft sleeper, or 184 RMB ($30) in a hard sleeper.
If you arrive at
Guangzhou main station, a taxi to
Guangzhou East station costs about RMB 30 (£3) or you can take the well-organised metro with English-language signing from
Guangzhou main station on red line 5 to
Guangzhou east station on yellow line 1, for just RMB 4.
Day 3, travel from
Guangzhou East (
Guangzhou Dong) to
Hong Kong (Kowloon station, known as Hung Hom) by train. There are a range of departures daily, for example one leaves
Guangzhou East at 10:37 and arrives at Hung Hom at or there's one at 14:00 arriving Hung Hom at 15:48. Fare about HK$190 (£17 or $26).
Hanoi - Hong Kong high-speed option...This is the fastest option, taking little
over 24 hours between
Hanoi and
Hong Kong using one of the new 300km/h (186mph) high-speed trains. You only have to spend one night on a sleeper train. However, it's pretty rushed as you need to transfer fairly sharply between stations in both
Nanning &
Guangzhou, so I'd recommend a taxi for this.
Day 1, evening: Take the overnight sleeper train from
Hanoi to
Nanning, leaving
Hanoi Gia Lam station around 21:40 every day and arriving
Nanning main station around 10:10 next morning, see the section above for details.
The fare is around VND 568,000 (£20 or $30) with a comfy soft sleeper berth.
Transfer by taxi from
Nanning main station to the new
Nanning East (
Nanning Dong) station just outside the city.
Day 2, travel from
Nanning to
Guangzhou by high-speed train in just a few hours, leaving
Nanning East at 13:30 and arriving
Guangzhou South at 17:40. The fare is around RMB 169 ($29) in 2nd class or RMB 202 ($34) in 1st class. Transfer by metro or taxi to
Guangzhou East (
Guangzhou Dong).
Day 2 evening, travel from
Guangzhou East to
Hong Kong (Kowloon station, known as Hung Hom), leaving
Guangzhou East at 20:30 by intercity train and arriving Hung Hom at 22:26. Fare about HK$190 (£17 or $26).
