Train from Hong Kong/Shenzhen to Guillin

Has anyone taken the train from Shenzhen to Guillin?
Is it possible to buy a ticket in advance in Hong Kong?

I want to go to Yuangshuo but due to motionsickness i prefer taking the
train instead of sleeperbus
I've read something about going to the Shenzhen border, pass it (walk) and
take the nighttrain to Guilling.
Anyone did this?
And how much chance is there to go to the station (Shenzhen ) and get a hard
or soft sleeper ticket for the train that day? (lets say 2 hours before
depart)

Thanks

You could fly instead of taking a train. Quite affordable for somebody
with a first world salary.

Absolutely possible and preferable to buy your ticket in HK.

Heard that it is also possible to take a train directly from Kowloon to
Guillin, is this correct?

Last time I checked (fall last year), there was no such thing; instead
took the train from HK to GZ (very nice express train), and in GZ was
told there was an overnight train to Guilin, 10+ hours; flew instead,
highly convenient indeed.
