you have to take a train to Guangzhou first. There are three trains to Guangzhou:

K363 starts from Nanning at 23.55 and arrive at Guangzhou at 11.48.
Hard Sleeper: RMB 175; Soft Sleeper: RMB 267

K229 starts at 10.04 and arrive at 21.09.
Hard Sleeper: 161; Soft Sleeper: 247

2572 starts at 17.17 and arrive at 06.14.
Hard Sleeper:185 and soft sleepr: 286

The price may change during the holidays, so you'd better ask for details before booking or buying.

In Guangzhou, there are several trains each day which run to Hong Kong. This is about a two hour train ride, on the Guangdong Line.

If I were you, I would travel from Nanning to Shenzhen by train.

The train number is T37/T40, the departure time is 20:00 and the arrival time is 11:47.

Then from Shenzhen walk trough the HK border. It is easy and money aving.

Thanks all for the good info, darn that is a long train ride.

I may decide to fly or do a combination of train up and fly back.
