i think you can get instant visa if you cross from HK to Shenzhen.
(then you take the train shenzhen-beijing)
but i have no idea about train services and the difference in shenzhen-pek vs hkg-pek train</font>
The Shenzen visa at the border is good for Shenzen only.. if you want to go further into the mainland you will need a China visa before you arrive.
