No direct train. You're advised to take an overnight bus to Guangzhou and then change to a train for Xiamen; or take a bus to Nanning and do the same.

I would think there are good coach buses running between Xiamen and Guilin. And even possibly flights?! But I recommend Yangshuo to stay in instead of Guilin. Yangshuo has a nicer setting and is also not as expensive as Guilin. You can take a shuttle bus that runs between Guilin's train station [the bus shuttle departs from the parking lot area closest to the mainstreet] and Yangshuo and it runs regularly.

Thanks for the info. I'll have Guangzhou instead of Xiamen coz it's nearer Guilin which is my destination.
