Mode of transportation in Guangzhou & Hong Kong

GUANGZHOU

To Travel within Guangzhou for a tourist like me, I prefer walking (if it is within 2km),Metro & taxis. Taxis will start the price from RMB7.00 and they will also imposed fuel surcharge of RMB2.00 & RMB2.60 depending on which taxis u are taking (small or big). I will take taxis as it will take me right to the door step . But if u have a group of 4 , it will be quite cheap too by taxi. Travel after peak hours like after 9am and also before 5pm or after 7pm. This is to avoid the traffic jam.

For those who are more adventurous & plenty of time, you can take the bus route.

And to go to Hong Kong,Go to their Guangzhou East Railway Station, take the direct train to Hung Hom station in HK. cost about HKD190 per way. There's a schedule to follow.And from Hung Hom station you can travel to Tsim Tsa Tsui East to go anywhere you want unnless there is further changes depending on where you are staying.

And if you want to travel cheap and want to go thru the hassle of walking, you may also attemp to take the bullet train which runs every 20 mins from Guangzhou East Railway Station to Shenzhen (Lo Wu) @ RMB80 per way  (2nd class) comes with 3 + 2 seats. 1st class @ RMB100 - 2 + 2 seats. And when you reach the station, look out for Hong Kong signage and follow. It was quite a distance walk and it felt like never end. And chinese nationalities and foreigners has a different counter for immigration.Just follow the sign

And REMEMBER their peak hours before 9am and 5pm - 7pm.

Once you pass thru both immigration, you will reach the Hong Kong railway station (Lo Wu) from here get a ticket to where ever you are heading to but get down at Kowloon Tong station to your respective MTR lines.


HONG KONG
In Hong Kong - needless to say by MTR.Taxis are extremely expensive means of transportation.As a tourist I do not recommend MTR 2 days pass (HKD120) or even 1 day pass (HKD55). Anyway, do your calculation of where u want to go and see whether it is worth it or not.Get an Octupus card  150HKD includes 50 deposit and 100 to use.The 2 days pass will give you some discount vouchers like for Ngo Ping 360,Disneyland, the Peak etc. However, I have recently read an update from Low yat forum,

"Go to Nathan Road and search for Ding Ding travel agency when you reach HK. He sell to me disneyland ticket includes 1 meal set too.. and still cheaper than the actual price. All together i pay 880HKD only for Disneyland ticket + meal set, Ngong Ping 360 enlightenment journey , Ocean Park, Madame tussades + peak tram + Sky Terrace. "

Base on their respective published rate , here it is

Disneyland - HKD350
Madamme Tusaunds - HKD160
Ngo Ping return - HKD115
Peak Tram & Sky Terrace - HKD56
Ocean park  - HKD250
meal vouchers - not very sure?
definately safe some money here.

And if you knw the Double Deck bus route or mini bus route, you can of course travel with that.
