By train, there is only one through train from Taiyuan to Guangzhou, K237, which leaves at 10: 4 1 and arrives in guangzhou east railway station at 10: 03 the next morning, which means it will take 34 hours. The train is dirty and broken! ! ! ! Although air conditioning. Upper berth 426, student ticket 300. Tickets for this train are still tight.
It's not impossible to take the train. I suggest you change trains in Shijiazhuang. Shijiazhuang leaves for Guangzhou in the morning 10: 5 1 and arrives in Guangzhou at 6: 56 the next morning, which can save a lot of time, but you have to entrust someone to buy tickets in Shijiazhuang, because only 5% of the tickets are on the national public network, which means that the tickets you can buy in Taiyuan account for only 5% of the total tickets. You can try it. Except for the peak in Spring Festival travel rush, tickets from Guangzhou to Shijiazhuang are relatively easy to buy.
Besides, I have a good news for you. The intercity light rail from Guangzhou to Zhuhai should be open to traffic next year, with a speed of 200KM/H, and it takes only one hour from Guangzhou to Zhuhai. Take the bus first this year.
