We start the day at our hotel the Yangshuo Mountain Retreat and get a taxi to Yangshuo Railway Station. This takes about an hour as Yangshuo train station is the other side of Xingping.
At the train station we wait for our train that will take us to Guilin. Matthew is still pretty ill from the food poisoning he picked up the day before.
Our train from Yangshuo to Guilin takes around 30 minutes and then we wait for our direct train that will take us all the way from Guilin to Hong Kong.
We stock up on supplies at the train station, drinks, snacks, etc. and get on our train.
Today we would be travelling in second class on the G319 for the 3 hour plus journey from Guilin to Hong Kong. Along the way we would be travelling past some beautiful scenery and making stops at a number of stations including Guangzhou and Shenzen before finally arriving in Hong Kong at Kowloon West Train Station.
At Hong Kong we had to go through immigration before catching a taxi to our hotel.
Tonight we were staying at The Salisbury – YMCA Hong Kong, the hotel is in a perfect location in Tsim Sha Tsui next to the Peninsula with perfect views over Victoria harbour and the Hong Kong Skyline. Our room was a Harbour View King Suite so we had two rooms and a huge floor to ceiling window to admire the view.
As Matthew was still ill me and Holly went out to get something to eat at a nearby Roast Goose Restaurant and walked along the harbour.
We got some snacks for Matthew and went back to the room. from here we could watch the Symphony of Lights, a nightly light show in Hong Kong Harbour, we could even get the music in our room using an app.

Today was a really difficult day, I would have liked to stay in Yangshuo for another couple of days to let Matthew rest but that was impossible. On any other day this would have been an amazing journey travelling through the beautiful Chinese countryside on a high speed Chinese train.

@31:20 – you don't get good value because it's "dated" in Hong Kong 😂 – YMCA has a lot to do with it – that's a 5 star room in many cities even without the views –
看了带有中文字幕的视频后，得知马修病了。为此我们也很担心，希望他早点好起来。加油
祝马修早日康复！
I am sorry Mathew had food poisoning in Yangshuo. Thankfully, you have a great perspective in enduring many trails and tribulations such as this. I am glad you found the YMCA hotel in HK to rest up ,and enjoyed the skyline of HK Victoria harbour.
Hopefully Matthew gets a speedy recovery. As for the train, there might be more options from Yangshuo to Guangzhou and then to Hong Kong.
Sorry for Mathew. Did you guys stay only two days in HK?
为什么没有中文字幕。让我们也都多了解中国
Proud of the father who provided such an opportunity to his children to know the amazing world
Hope Matthew recovers soon
You are a great father, hopefully Matthew get well soon
wonderful father and adorable kids
Welcome to Hong Kong !
It's an old video created in April?
伟大的父亲，中国有一句谚语读万卷书不如行万里路，让有机会出来看看不同的世界比只从书包上了解的知识更好
What an coincidence…I had a very bad diarrhea when I went to yangshuo for the first time too😮 It was like 20 yrs ago
Why'd you want to book premium when it's just a very short journey from Yangshuo to Guilin? I can see there doesn't seem to be anyone in that class, a waste of money in my opinion. I don't think for such a short journey, it'll make a huge difference to making your son feel more comfortable being in premium. Worse of all, you paid for premium but sat in economy! 🤣
中国大陆很大，有些乘客买长途票但是没有票了就买的短途票上车，到了短途票的目的地不下车，在车上补票到达长途的目的地的票，不算逃票也不罚款。由于香港是特区法律规定与大陆不一样，没有票或者越站乘车算逃票，会被罚款
我希望你儿子的病早日康康
康复
see u in hk
China have good hospital，They are cheap and efficient，should take Matthew go to the hospital
謝謝光臨中國，後會有期！祝福闔家平安，萬事如意心想事成。
I dont know when this video was taken, but I was in Guilin and Yangshou 3 days ago… the entire family got food poisoning as well, in fact my stomach still feel pretty bad. I don't know what happend because we all ate at the hotel… Interestingly we didnt get food poisoning sympton until we got to Shanghai. However Yangshou was awesom, I rented one of those 3 seater scooters and rode everywhere. It was soo much fun and the view were fatastic ! I will differently visit again!
Welcome to Hong Kong again
You know HK is running West(UK) System
Hong Kong price is higher of China because the HKMA guarantees to exchange US dollars into Hong Kong dollars, or vice versa, at the rate of 7.80.
You should have taken business class for Matthew, I hope he get better soon!
❤❤❤❤❤nice
Get some pork,duck or chicken congee for Matthew,hong Kong has many places for congee
Actually you don't have to guess where your carriage is. There are signs on the ground with different colours. You just need to know which colour of signs is for your train and then find the number.
中国大陆居民去香港需要办港澳通行证，一次只能待7天🥲
God bless u and big prayer for ur kids 🙏✝️
I love your videos, and I care about what happened to you. I suggest you go to the hospital emergency in the next city, they will treat your child soon, the best part is you do not have to wait for a long time, I hope you are well!
Lovely video. Your children are amazing. Hope your son has a speedy recovery and good luck on the way home!
You are the best. Fantastic videos! I hope the young man is ok now. All the best.❤❤❤
一个想让孩子休息好，但是因为行程原因不得不让孩子折腾的爹，看得出来你真的很担心，马修
当你上车的时候注意站台地上会发现有几个不同颜色的地面标识，按照上车前的提示去寻找对应颜色的地面标识可以直接找到你对应的车厢，不需要在车辆到达后再去寻找
😊
How is Mathew now?
It’s hard to imagine that almost everything sold in Hong Kong comes from mainland China, yet the prices are several times, or even dozens of times higher than in mainland China.😅
so convenient to take bullet train, instead of flight! no delay, and directly get off city center, no travel from airport, that is amazing
