    Why are you going? If it is to experience the country and people, travel by bus and train. That means going through China for which you will need a visa. From HK to Shenzhen, where you walk across the border into China to the bus or train station.; you will need someone to assist you through the intricasies of finding the right ticket office, getting the right ticket and finding the right bus.It is a large complex in the throws of reconstruction. May I recommend the Sunrise International travel Co. on the 40th floor of the China Resourses Building on Harbour Road, Waichai, Hong Kong.www.chinavisa.com.hk I went there to get my China visa. Very good service. Take a bus or train to Kunming and spend a little time in Quangxi province, maybe visit Guilin, but watch for pichpockets - it's a tourist destination. Take the train from Kunming to Vietnam - Lao Cai - and from there another train to Hanoi. This last train takes about eight hours. Kunming to Lao Cai probably 10 to 12 hours. From HK to Kunming , doing it in stages, should take two to three days. Overnight sleeper buses are good in China but the toilets leave much to be desired. I tend to dose on Noroxin, without which you should not travel anyway, which puts your system on hold for the duration of the journey. I do not know what a doctor would say to this. The only alternative is to fly to Hanoi and travel by train or bus, though road travel will scare the soles of your shoes. Cost? Cheap. But I cannot be specific, but as an example, a 14 hour train journey last year cost me 160 yuan = NZ$27 = US$19. A sleeper would cost perhaps 1/3 again.Have fun.

    Best is by train if you have a few days and want to experience the journey. Plane is quick and easy, but still expensive, and you don't see anything. I've done it lat May. So take a train from Hong Kong (Kowloon station) to Guangzhou (Dong station) HK$190 . There are a range of departures daily, including one leaving Kowloon at 12:15 and arriving Guangzhou Dong at 13:47. Then take the overnight train from Guangzhou (main station) to Nanning, departing Guangzhou at 16:02 and arriving Nanning the next morning at 05:30. 350 RMB in a soft sleeper, 255 RMB in a hard sleeper. Next day, take a morning train from Nanning to Pinxiang, leaving Nanning at 07:58 and arriving Pinxiang at 12:07. Take a taxi from Pinxiang to the frontier at the Friendship Pass. This will cost about 80-100RMB. Allow 2 hours or so to pass through both Chinese and Vietnamese border formalities. Then take a taxi the next 3km into Dong Dang town. This taxi will cost around $3, payable in US Dollars. There are several trains a day from Dong Dang to Hanoi. There are trains from Dong Dang at 06:00 (arriving Hanoi at 11:30) or at 13:35 (arriving Hanoi at 19:50). Frequent buses are also available. Dong Dang to Hanoi is 161 km (100 miles) 61,000 Dong soft class. Check Dong Dang - Hanoi train times locally, as these may have changed.
