第六天 : 2003年2月7日

在到达广州前，我拍了数张停在邻轨道上的列车照片，你会看到有很多人挤在一起， 像”沙甸鱼”在罐里。 在这时候，很多民工南下到广州，深圳及邻近城市工作。

列车在早上11:00到广州，比预定时间迟了3小时。 列车误点在繁忙时间较为普遍，因为这是”春运”的高峰期。

列车到达广州后，我乘地铁去广州东站，再回去深圳。 广州地铁把广州站和广州东站联在一起，现在人们都很方便地穿梭这两站。

很多人都清楚，从广州站去深圳的列车很少，因广州东站是，深圳和九龙直通车的总站呢。 列车往来深圳及广州都很繁忙，车票每程是75元，而从广州只花一小时就到深圳。

我约在下午3:30到达香港。而我的行程就停在这里。

Day 6 : 07-Feb-2003

Before arriving in Guangzhou, I took several photos of the crowded train on the opposite tracks.   You would see that the train was very very crowded, like “sardine fish in a can”.  In this period, many people went back to their working places in Guangzhou, Shenzhen and nearby cities  after  long a Chinese New Year holiday.

Our train arrived in Guangzhou station at 11:00pm.  It was delayed for 3 hours!!   Train delay is common in China during the peak time.  People called this period as “Seasonal Peak Transport 春运”

After the train had arrived in Guangzhou, I took the underground railway to the Guangzhou Dung Station and back to Shenzhen.  The underground railway links Guangzhou station and Guangzhou Dung station.  It was very convenient for people to go to Guangzhou Dung station directly after you got off the train.  

As you know, there are only a few trains from Guangzhou station to Shenzhen, but Guangzhou Dung station is the main terminus of the trains from Shenzhen and Kowloon.  Trains from Shenzhen and Guangzhou are very busy, there are 4 pairs of trains running to and fro between the two cities per hour.  The cost of the ticket was RMB 75 and you can reach Shenzhen in one hour.

I reached Hong Kong at about 3:30pm.  My journey was over here.
