Hong Kong to Zhaoqing by high-speed train

In operation since 2019, two high-speed trains carry passengers daily from Hong Kong’s West Kowloon station to Zhaoqingdong (or Zhaoqing East) in under two hours.

Ticket fares are set in CN¥, which mean prices fluctuate in HK$, but they typically range from HK$275 for a second class ticket to HK$817 for business class; the extra dollars pay for more leg room, meals, amenities like slippers and ear plugs, as well as seats that can swivel and recline for extra comfort. See the train timetable and fares ahead of your journey.

Passengers with a Mainland Chinese phone number can pre-purchase tickets via the Railway 12306 website or app, available on iOS and Android. There is an English version that welcomes users with foreign passports. Otherwise, you can buy tickets in-person at West Kowloon Station with identity verification.
