Answer to One China Travel Question


Q: Are there buses or trains that go from Hong Kong to Xiamen, or from Hong Kong to Yiwu, or Xiamen to Yiwu?
A: We assume you'er referring to Yiwu, Zhejiang Pronvince, which has a wholesale and distribution center of small goods. While it is possible to travel by train from Hong Kong to Yiwu (with a connection in Guangzhou), or from Xiamen to Yiwu, the train rides are rather long. There are flights from Guangzhou to Yiwu, and from Xiamen to Yiwu, which last only an hour and half or so. There are train services between Hng and Guangzhou - a couple of hours' ride If you want to travel by train, you can get to Guangzhou first and then take train there to Xiamen and then Yiwu, or directly to Yiwu and then Yiwu to Xiamen. Rides between Guangzhou and Yiwu, and that between Xiamen and Yiwu, last approximately 20 hours. For example, rains leave in the afternoon and arrive around noon time the next day. You need to make sure you get the trains that actually stop at Yiwu as Yiwu is relatively small station and some express trains may not stop there.
