How do I get from Guangzhou to Hong Kong via train?

<h3>How do I get from Guangzhou to Hong Kong via train?</h3>

I am moving to Guangzhou this summer for a temporary work placement. I would really like to visit Hong Kong while I am there and wanted to know if there was a train I could take. I'm working and living near the Guangzhou Tianhe Sports Center. Also, if anyone knows any websites that can help with using trains in China I would greatly appreciate that information!


<strong>Hong Kong best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by some-yank</i><br/>You can purchase tickets directly at the East train station. If you need help in English, take the subway to the Yiuxue park stop and go too the business center at the China Marriott hotel.</p>
