For your question, please refer to the relevant documents of Hangzhou Library and China Knowledge Network:

During the Opium War, British Ambassador Plenipotentiary Pu Dingcha set off from London by boat and stayed in Mumbai for ten days, which took 67 days to reach Macau.

The Qing government sent officials Qishan and Yishan to rush south from Beijing, and it took them 56 days and 57 days to reach Guangzhou respectively.
