This sounds like an amazing adventure, A couple of years ago this would have been very tempting, I envy those of you who will go this way. If there are several of you it might be possible to sort out WiFi perhaps one of those satellite connections?

I hate you, now I'm considering it.That being said, it would more expensive than the plane from the price I could find (as the tickets are one way tickets and the plane it's a round trip) and that it doesn't all the extras you'd have over the two weeks.But still, that is an awesome idea :D--

The good news is the train to Hung Hom is (literally!) on the doorstep ofthe Wikimania venue at HK Polytechnic University.If you plan it out well, you could spend time in Beijing, overnight train toShanghai, spend time there, then overnight again to HK/Hung Hom. For those
with the time in their schedule, it sounds like a great trip.

convenience and comfortability sake you'd better take the through train toHung Hom.Best regards,

I recommend you take the Beijing-Guangzhou High Speed Railway in China,than you can transfer train from Guangzhou to Hong Kong.I'm planning to train to Hong Kong to (from China), so maybe I can joinyou in Beijing-Guangzhou&Guangzhou-Hong Kong line.and attention, you must apply for a Chinese visa if passing China, theHong Kong visa is not valid in China.On Fri, Jan 18, 2013 at 6:53 AM, Seb35 <seb35wikipedia@gmail.com> wrote:
Hello, Добрый день,Three years ago some crazy Wikimedians (whose I was) travelled by trainthrough Europe to join Gdańsk for Wikimania.
This year I intend to join Wikimania Hong Kong by train from France,
mainly with the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Chinese trains. The travel
can take a minimum of about 2 weeks (of intensive train :), but it would be
more comfortable to take more time; the price seems to be about 300-400 €
(+food, visas, etc…), so probably less or similar than the airtravel of ~800
€.Does anyone is interested to join me? You have time if you want thinkabout. If we are some people interested in Europe, we could join in
Deutschland before continuing the 10k km :)
