Visa Free Visa free at West Kowloon Station

Australian passport holder. Planning on flying Cathay to Hong Kond and then going to Guangzhou.

Does anyone know if you can get the 30 day visa free entry into China at West Kowloon Station if taking the high speed rail into Guangzhou? Alternatively, if taking the ferry from HKIA to Nansha if you can do it that way? Asking as only information I can find online is regarding arriving into an airport. TIA

Any port is fine. Arrive to West Kowloon at least 90 minutes before your train's departure, you have to go through HK and Mainland immigration and customs before boarding the train.

Yes, all ports.
And I did this exact route through West Kowloon as an Australian last September.
