Wave of travelers hits railways in Guangdong

"It was really convenient to travel from Hong Kong to my hometown in Hunan province after the resumption of high-speed train service between the mainland and the special administrative region," said Cheng Qiong, 29, who owns a nail salon in Hong Kong.

After arriving at Shenzhen North Railway Station on Wednesday, which took her about 20 minutes during the journey from Hong Kong, Cheng took another high-speed train back to her hometown, Loudi, in Hunan.
