POST-SARS : Guangdong Sexcapades

[Tr|pp|ng]

I've been travelling between HK and GZ frequently over the past year. From my experiences, the most comfortable mode depends on your baggages.

Personally, for me, my most favourite route is Ferry (From Nansha Port to HK-TST). 1hr 15 minutes. No hassles. However, when you are carrying luggages, then its abit of a problem.

Bus ride is not exactly, imho, comfortable. Especially when you are at DG / SZ / HK borders - where you have to lunge your luggages out of the coaches, and run for immigration, then catch back onto the coach. Anyway...for me, it was hell on my 1st trip, and it was certainly my last choice.

Trains are good and fast as well.......as what pepewaio mentioned. KCR to Lowu station. Then crossing SZ border, and catching the train to GZ East for Guangzhou, DG Station for Houjie.

The train ride is around 45 minutes from SZ to DG and the taxi is about 20 minutes to HJ. ZMT is further..both ways.

Hope this helps!

Man, you're fast! But isn't your flight like delayed?

Anyway, I'm glad to know you and Mr. D enjoyed urselves.

Next trip - Dongguan and Zhuhai - I guarantee u the satisfaction.

Shall be more prepared in terms of organising ur activities haha..

But BabyFace is cool, I'll drop back there sometime with my friends

and will report to u on the latest...


All the best to your SH trip !

Hello Tr|pp|ng

I'm travelling to GZ from HKIA next week. Have checked different variation and found this to be comfy.


HKIA->Hung Hom train station->GZ

Train Schedule

What's your advise on this? Previously I went through the Lowu/SZ route and it was not a pleasant experience.

Thanks.

A firend of mine just came back from GZ. He told me he directly into GZ trasnsisting one hour in Bangkok through Thai airway. Guess how much ??? S$385 excluding tax.

Wow...it's a good deal considering that he need not go thru the hassle of taking the transport from HKIA to GZ/DG.

Moreover, he got a free stopover : two nights in Bangkok for what he called a "change of taste" before coming back.

I will sure try this way the next time, I am going to GZ or DG....

Frankly, I hated the HKIA......it's just too far ...out in the nowhere.
Even flying thru Macau is a better alternative......unless we need to be in HK.

Yes. I just called my regular TA. But unfortunately TG is fully booked to the hilt for my dates. Would have love to do this route, avoiding the hassles. But mine is a bit tricky cos my homebound trip would be from HK.

$385? That's a fantastic price. I was quoted $465, excluding taxes.

No choice, have to do CX, using HK as the anchor. Anyway the HK/Taiwanese should be back from Taipei.

Thanks for your info.

cheers

GZ->BKK->Sin->BKK->GZ ~

You journey to SZ, too long liao.

From HKIA take a Express bus (no. 43) to Sheung Shui (45minutes= HK30), KCR to Lowu custom ( 5 minites= HK15). You will SZ then.......

Macau is good for those going to Zhu Hai and Donguang. I tried that before. That's when Macau Air and Silk Air was having an offer. It's much more convenience and less stressful as compared to HK. Many Taiwanese (flying from Taiwan) goes by this route.

Only for GZ/DG....fly direct lah......

TG to GZ @S$385

The travel agent :

Sin Chung Tours Pte Ltd.
#03-06, People's Park Complex.
Tel : 6535-1698

This tour agent specialised in China route. many good offer.

I once fly to BJ to meet my gf then @ S$400 return ticket on Southern Air. Very reasonable.

Going to the Kowloontong MTR station from HKIA will take about an hour liao....your journey easily two hours.

SZ also got many good places that can provide good fun....particularly their suburb like Boaan, Sha ghui etc.. SZ very is big.

Me travelled to SH very often too. Though is a good playground but it's getting very too costly liao. For a high end KTv like TienSanRenZhan, the gals are asking for RMB2000 for overnight. It used to be rmb1200. Me rather bring my own "cow" when I am in SH.....To me, the southern China ie SZ, DG & GZ are more fun......anytime.

January....I think it's too early for them to quote you the exact price. Promotion prices are normally released by the airline one month before the start of the promotion date.
