Today is travel day from Guangzhou to Hong Kong! I decided to go with bullet train this time to see how fast those trains go. And surely it was a fast train reaching top speeds of 350km/h!

Price of ticket for first class was $48, surely on the pricier side, but it is fast! I think second class ticket would be below $30 USD, so surely a bit cheaper.

Don't make the same mistake by not booking the trip before, I waited 3h+ hours in station because of it, but all good for me I was not in a rush! :)
